Honeysuckle (The Hornets Nest) by Aubrey Taylor

Dean Tucker is the golden boy of the Hornets.

Newly appointed as Captain of the baseball team, Dean is in the hot seat and must quickly learn how to manage not only his own expectations but the expectations of everyone else in his life. With his parents breathing down his neck to be perfect, he clumsily balances on the pedestal that's been created for him. It already feels like the world is on his shoulders when Coach throws wildcard Joshua Logan into the mix.

All Dean needs to do is stay focused, but how can he when his new teammate is driving him to distraction?

Joshua Logan is one of the most hated people in Harbor.

Transferring from Lorette, Josh is enemy number one. Known for being the cocky, aggressive loudmouth on the pitching mound, it's a shock to learn that it’s all a mask. Josh is distant, angry, and just trying to survive. As his new Captain, Dean is determined to get Josh to leave his lone-wolf attitude in the past by casting him into the deep end of the Hornets' messy found family.

All Josh wants to do is finish school, play baseball, and keep his head down, but Dean Tucker has different plans for him, and for them.
