Rivals

Jake Sorenson and Cameron Sterling were never meant to be friends—let alone teammates. On the field, they’re competitors. Off it, their lives couldn’t be more different. Jake has the steady support of family and faith. Cameron has scars he doesn’t talk about and a fastball that could take him anywhere—if he can keep his demons in check.

Set in the heart of high school baseball season, Rivals explores what happens when loyalty, love, and the past collide. As old wounds surface and hidden truths come to light, Jake, Cameron, and the people around them are forced to ask: What does it really mean to belong? And can forgiveness truly rewrite the game?

A story of friendship, first love, and fierce redemption, Rivals is a powerful debut about choosing the person you want to become—no matter where you started.
