The Long Slide Home (The Rainbow League #3) – forthcoming All Patrick has to do is convince a reluctant Mason that their one night wasn’t just a crazy fluke and that they could be great together…if only Mason could get past his old hang-ups and his intolerant family. Mason is unlike any man Patrick has ever been with before, and not just because he’s an ex-Yankee. Patrick hasn’t been able to forget Mason either, and now that baseball season is back upon them, he’s determined to have him again. Plus, he’s still thinking about last summer’s encounter with hot, effeminate, pierced and tattooed Patrick – pretty much the opposite of the sort of man he has long pictured himself with. Now he’s scratching the baseball itch playing in the Rainbow League while making his way through New York’s population of beefcakes, even though they all come up short.

Mason made headlines when, after his professional baseball career was sidelined by an injury, he very publicly came out of the closet. But when Ian receives an offer for a job overseas, Ty needs a new plan: convince Ian that home is where Ty is. Ty works up a plan to convince Ian that New York is, in fact, the greatest city in the world. The only catch is that Ian is dead set on leaving the city as soon as he can. In Ian, he’s found someone with whom he feels comfortable enough to share some of what’s going on beneath the surface. Ty is like a duck on a pond – calm and laid-back on the surface, a churning mess underneath. Baseball turns out to be a great outlet for his anxiety, and not only because sexy teammate Ty has caught his eye.

In the meantime he lets an old friend talk him into joining the Rainbow League, New York’s LGBT amateur baseball league. A job offer too good to turn down has brought him back, but he plans to leave as soon as the job is up. Ian ran screaming from New York City upon graduating from high school. Welcome to the Rainbow League, New York Cityâ€™s LGBT recreational baseball league, where the competition is hot… and so is the action off the field.
