Cat Sebastian

In 1960s New York City, a grieving arts journalist and a baseball shortstop both find themselves stuck—Mark Bailey in a sabbatical’s aftermath, and Eddie O’Leary in the worst slump of his career with the new Robins. When Mark is assigned to write a highbrow sports feature on Eddie’s first season, their reluctant partnership turns into a slow-burn romance shaped by late-night conversations, small acts of care, and the search for belonging. As Eddie navigates a hostile clubhouse and homesickness for Kansas City, Mark must learn how to return to his work—and to life—without losing what he loved. With Cat Sebastian’s signature mid-century charm and grumpy/sunshine tenderness, this queer love story explores grief, found family, and the quiet courage it takes to start again.
