Eighteen and fresh off a breakup with his long-term boyfriend, baseball all-star Coop Morgan should feel devastated, but instead he feels...nothing. That is, until Ethan Prescott, his coach's son walks in with a gorgeous face and an ass like a seven-layer cake. For the first time in his life, Coop feels…something.

Just when Coop is about to make a move on Ethan, he stumbles on his late mother's journal and learns old secrets about his family—secrets that had forever altered the course of his life to bring him to where he is now. Before he can move forward, he must come to terms with what he’s learned, even if that means accepting his entire life was built on a lie.

Ethan Prescott has never felt at home, growing up between two houses, despite being smothered with love by his overbearing Italian mother. Outside of baseball and painting, nothing has ever been able to capture his attention, except for one man…Cooper Morgan. And when the opportunity to be on a team with him arises, Ethan jumps at the chance.

Determined to help Coop and his suffering game, Ethan goes all in on trying to get Coop to notice him, but between his mother who has somehow ended up at his dad’s house, ill-advised hair training from Coop’s best friend, and Coop standing dripping wet in front of him in the locker room, Ethan finds himself constantly set back, until the night of a teammate’s birthday party.

Coop and Ethan head to the party with the same goal, but will too many shots, an ex-boyfriend, and smelly cologne stand in their way of happiness?

You Can Call Me Cooper is a young adult MM romantic comedy with baseball shenanigans, embarrassing Italian family members, steamy scenes, and a whole lot of cupcakes.
