Author's Note

After moving back home to teach at his alma mater, Jude Middleton meets the man of his dreams on New Year's Eve. Their night together is incredible, and he won't be forgetting it any time soon. It just happens to be his luck that on his first day back as head coach of baseball, he comes face to face with his hook-up. What transpires is a year-long friends-with-benefits arrangement, slow burn, pining, and a healthy dose of falling in love.
