About this ebook

“Diamond Ring might be the best sports romance I have ever read.” —Rachel Reid, USA TODAY bestselling author of Heated Rivalry and The Long Game

"[A] home run of a romance." —New York Times Book Review

Teammates reunite to give love another shot in the third installment of KD Casey’s riveting Unwritten Rules series.

Jake Fischer has been here before: pitching for the Oakland Elephants, hiding his worries behind a smile, hoping to win it all. Ten years ago, it didn’t turn out the way he wanted. Nothing in his life did. But now he’s back—and so is the one teammate tied inexorably to his past.

It doesn’t matter how many times catcher Alex Angelides replays that moment during the Fall Classic over in his mind, the outcome never changes. He’s not sure what happened to make that pitch glance off his glove, or what happened with his relationship with Jake—and he’s not going to be the one to ask.

A whole lot may have changed in the last decade, but some things have stayed the same. Jake and Alex still can’t stay out of each other's faces on the field, or out of each other's beds off of it. They’ve got a second chance to win it all…but only if they realize what they lost.

Ratings and reviews

A lovely oh-so-satisfying baseball romance. Diamond Ring is the third in KD Casey’s Unwritten Rules m/m baseball series. Jake Fischer and Alex Angelides get called up to the majors at roughly the same time. That rookie season is a doozy, culminating in a heartbreaking loss at the Fall Classic and a major injury shortly after for Jake, and a falling out that then spans a decade. KD Casey writes warmly and beautifully about Alex and Jake finding their way back to each other and the work they

After 10 years apart, there is still a spark between Alex and Jake but they both have to overcome old hurts. Once their relationship is fairly solid again, they have to deal with the realities of their differing career goals. Diamond Ring brought out all of my emotions and made me feel for both characters. I enjoyed seeing characters from the previous two books. I also appreciated the extended epilogue that this book had.
