Spicy, hilarious Banana Ball romance • the hottest goofballs of the Philly Sillys

Philly sports as a love language, a grumpy injured MLB star, and a choreographer whose job is to make him sing, dance, and perform for a stadium full of fans—Nailed at Home Plate is rom-com chaos with heat, heart, and a lot of forced proximity.

The vibe

With years of theater and dance, Cadence Andrews is a shoo-in for choreographer of Philadelphia’s Entertainment League Baseball team, the Philly Sillys. She’s living her dream… until her longtime Major League crush walks in: Jamie Rheems, the ridiculously gorgeous catcher she’s been obsessed with since his MLB trade to her beloved team.

Jamie was born to be behind home plate—until an injury steals his spark and he gets shipped to what he considers baseball’s punchline: the Sillys. He’s grumpy, guarded, and absolutely not interested in singing, dancing, or performing. Too bad Cadence’s job is to make him do exactly that.
