The Fall Classic

He spent six months looking for the beautiful, bookish girl who dropped a patch.

Finding her was the easy part.

Logan Fischer grips too hard. It's the problem with his pitch, his family, and getting over Georgie-the girl he met six months ago at a Spring Training fan event. The girl with the dimpled smile, a coffee-shop patch on her Chucks, and a beat-up paperback in her hands.

Instead of fixing the spiraling anxiety wrecking his pitching career, Logan searches every ballpark and coffee shop his team passes through. The patch she dropped is the only proof he didn't imagine her.

Then he gets sent down to the minors, walks into a coffee shop that feels like home... and there she is.

For Georgie Ashman, a dream is a wish that breaks your heart. Since losing her mother, she's kept her world small, working in her mother's coffee shop-now run by her stepmother-and avoiding anything that risks her guarded heart. But then the handsome athlete she met six months ago walks back into her life with her name on his lips, and believing in more gets dangerously quickly.

Somewhere between bookish debates, quinceañera dance floors, taste-testing autumn drinks, and a Jeep the color of a pumpkin, Logan starts questioning if he really has to hold everything so tightly-his career, his family, even his grief. But just as Georgie lets her guard down and lets him in, Logan gets the call he's chased his whole life: he's heading back to the Majors for the World Series. The Fall Classic itself.

With everything he's ever wanted within reach, Logan is terrified. When you've spent your whole life gripping the things you're afraid to lose, how do you know the difference between holding someone... and holding on too hard?

The Fall Classic is a deliciously swoony, closed-door baseball rom-com with laugh-out-loud banter, slow-burn chemistry, small-town charm, and found family, all with no explicit content. Books in the Catching Feelings series can be read in any order.
