Home Field Advantage

Toby MacMillan lives for baseball and loves his hometown Atlanta team, which is owned by his grandfather, Ray. When Toby meets new team member Caleb Browning, an innocent welcome-to-the-big-leagues dinner leads to a not-so-innocent night together. Toby quickly calls things off, afraid of the ramifications of their tryst, but the two men develop a friendship that soon becomes more. After Caleb takes a fastball to the head, though, their budding romance hits the news—and Toby's grandfather hits the roof. When Ray MacMillan demands Toby deny the relationship, Toby must choose between the team he's loved all his life and the man he could love for the rest of it.A 22,000-word novella, Home Field Advantage was previously published as part of the Playing Ball anthology. It has undergone minor editing for the second edition.
