MATTHEW BECKETT'S UNSENT TEXTS OWEN, I think about you all the time. I dream about you most nights. Sometimes it's just playing catch. other times it's that one right in the back of my truck, looping endlessly, I hate catching anyone but you, Why did you quit playing? It's not my fault I got a scholarship. I MISS YOU.

Fifteen years of unsent texts can really mess you up.

Good thing Matt’s back in town.

ONE GOLDEN SUMMER x 32 DAYS IN MAY

After a life-altering diagnosis, a manager of a Halloween-themed café teams up with her brother’s (irritatingly) charming boss to recreate her father’s road trip across Atlantic Canada—but it sparks a longing for a future that’s out of her reach.

At twenty-six, Max Reilly is already ex a lot of things. Ex-star of Affinity, the TV drama he led for three seasons. Ex-fiancé of Holly Aveline, his costar, who hasn’t spoken to him since the scandal that tanked his career. And ex-darling of the show’s fan base, who went from love letters to death threats faster than the speed of cable. Most of all, Max is exhausted. The last thing he wants is to be back in the public eye. But when offered a deal to get out of his contract for good, it’s hard to resist—even if the catch is a pre-season publicity tour with Affinity’s current cast. Even if that means weeks on the road with not only his former castmates, but also the show’s newest cast member: Nico Mariani, a scandal-happy reality TV transplant known for exclusively playing villains. It’s only a few weeks. A few weeks facing crowds of people who actively hate him, of being hounded by gossip columnists, of being trapped on-and-offstage with Nico, who Max can’t shake to save his life. Because as it turns out, Nico has his own deal with the producers—and soon angry fans and nosy reporters will be the least of Max’s problems.

EXCERPT: Nico’s first thought on seeing Max Reilly in the flesh had been, damn, this dude’s tall. He wasn’t sure what he’d expected. Rory Harper, maybe, that archetypal boy-next-door who’d bit the dust at the end of Affinity season three. There was this one publicity still of him—white t-shirt, jeans, flannel tied around the waist, artistically placed smudges of grease—that was pinned to the vision boards of church-and-chevy girls nationwide. Oh my god, so dreamy, fuck me in a hayloft, etc. Max Reilly was a very different creature. Nico had him cataloged in one go. Indoorsy, sleepy eyes, hair unfortunately cut with the roots grown in. Skittish. Bad posture. Cargo pants (seriously). He didn’t dress like America’s Boyfriend, or anyone’s boyfriend, honestly, if we were being totally honest here, if we were being candid. He was, to put it nicely, nothing to write in your diary about. Tall, though, damn. And those freckles. But that was the devil talking.

Zoey Donnelly clawed herself back from the pandemic-era brink after a failed wellness venture. She's debt-free, stress-free, and, unfortunately for the newly 40-year-old former striver, direction-free. And wishing she wasn't turning down Lainey Gomez, one of her heroes. Zoey, massage therapist and former sex worker, was here to do a massage—instead, she's offered a good time. One that usually ends with money on the nightstand. Insulted, she leaves, wishing she could have taken it. Then Zoey decides to move out. Suddenly everyone knows better. Zoey's recruited—for her experience!—for Lainey's day spa concept, opening in the next twelve months. At a wellness conference in Dallas, Lainey offers Zoey a long-term contract, possibly becoming the company’s Massage Lead—plus housing, plus moving expenses, plus Lainey. Both say it's professional, but the interview was a date that ended in a hotel. Still: this gets her out of Austin, away from her old life, and towards the success she never had. And Lainey can move on to the next therapist, younger and with less baggage. Zack, her roommate and Sarah, his girlfriend, offer guidance without commitment. She wants to be chosen—Lainey’s doing just that. Soon, Lainey's signing similar checks for Zack. Sex is sex and work is work—at least, they say that. Lainey's spending way too freely. And Zack? Well, he’s not excited about the deal, which is a problem after saying “I love you” while making love in front of your boss. Mixed signals, everywhere. Now Zoey is forced to do something she hates when pesky people are involved: be specific, and choose. Lainey feels like certainty, but desperation has always preceded bad decisions. Sarah and Zack feel like home, but not one she chose. Simple: risk over comfort. Then a powerful investor voices their deep distaste with “former sex worker” in Zoey’s resume, and voids the deal. Lainey’s affection vanishes as fast as the paychecks and the housing, leaving Zoey alone and broke. Zoey did “b…

A fall themed moodboard with muted and dark themes of orange and red. The top left pictures a lecture hall with scattered students. The middle top picture is a row of books in a library. The top right pictures two hands close up, one over the other. The middle picture is long and covers the entire row. It’s of kids sitting around a bonfire at night. The figures are silhouetted against the fire. In the bottom left, a girl sits on a half wall outside. The path is covered with leaves and you can only see the bottom half of her, but she’s well-dressed in jeans and boots. The middle bottom picture is a campus path bordered on either side by trees in bright orange fall colors and some lamps. Farther down the road, students are walking. In the bottom right, there’s a close-up of a girl with pink hair. You can only see the tips and bottom half of her hair.

EXTRA INNINGS EDITOR GUIDE

EXTRA INNINGS EDITOR GUIDE

Matthew Beckett was Rollins High’s golden boy—baseball MVP, town favorite, and completely unprepared for what he felt for Owen Hart. Owen was quiet, brilliant, and saw Matt more clearly than anyone ever had. Then an injury in the minor leagues ended Matt’s shot at going pro, and whatever future he’d imagined for himself slipped out of reach. Fifteen years later, Matt is back in Rollins, coaching varsity baseball and barely keeping his footing as a high school history teacher. Owen never left. He’s built a steady, satisfying life as a beloved English teacher—out, confident, and deeply rooted in the community. The last thing he needs is Matt Beckett back in town. When the principal asks Owen to mentor him, old instincts return with dangerous ease. What begins as professionalism gives way to late nights, shared glances, and a physical connection neither of them can pretend isn’t happening. Matt is everything Owen remembers—driven, magnetic, and still standing at the edge of something Owen once let go. Owen won’t repeat the same mistake, even as hope insists that this time the choice might finally be easier.

A fake romance on a queer dating show spirals off-script when the golden boy falls for the villain—and choosing love means blowing up the finale.

A second-chance romance between an English teacher and the new baseball coach, two former teammates learning to let themselves be chosen—by a team,a town, and each other— when they thought their time had already passed.

A second-chance romance between an English teacher and the new baseball coach, two former teammates learning to let themselves be chosen—by a team,a town, and each other— when they thought their time had already passed.

Matthew Beckett was Rollins High’s golden boy—baseball MVP, town favorite, and completely unprepared for what he felt for Owen Hart, the quiet, brilliant teammate who saw him more clearly than anyone ever had. An injury in the minor leagues ended Matt’s dream of going pro, and he left town soon after, taking their unfinished first love with him. Fifteen years later, Matt is back in Rollins as the varsity baseball coach and a struggling history teacher. Owen never left. He’s built a steady, satisfying life as a beloved English teacher—out, confident, and deeply rooted in the community. He assumed the coaching job would one day be his. Instead, it belongs to the man who broke his heart. Forced into close proximity when the principal asks Owen to mentor Matt, old instincts snap back into place with dangerous ease. What begins as professionalism turns into late nights, shared glances, and a physical connection that is immediate, explicit, and impossible to pretend is casual. Matt is everything Owen remembers—driven, magnetic, and afraid of disappointing anyone enough to stay. Owen refuses to be someone’s almost again, even as hope tempts him to believe Matt might finally choose differently.
