EXTRA INNINGS — The Prequel Is Live – Logan’s Story Deserved the Whole Truth

⚠️ NSFW Notice: This series is intended for adult audiences (18+). It contains mature themes, queer intimacy, and emotionally grounded erotic content. Read responsibly.

For Mental Health Awareness Month, I’m sharing something deeply personal and long overdue: Before the Curve, a seven-chapter prequel that follows Logan through the year before he arrived at Midland.

This story doesn’t unfold with cliffhangers or weekly updates. It’s all there, start to finish. Because some stories need to be told in full — not pieced out. Especially when they deal with silence, coercion, shame, and survival.

You already know Logan as sharp, steady, and grounded. This is the part he never talks about.

Content Warning & Disclaimer
This story contains material that may be distressing for some readers.
Before the Curve includes:

• Coercive and non-consensual sexual acts

• Emotional manipulation

• Power imbalance within a team or athletic setting

• Aftereffects of sexual trauma such as dissociation, guilt, and isolation

• Silence surrounding male survivors

This is not erotica, though it includes sexual content.
It is a story about trauma, survival, and the long, imperfect work of healing.

All scenes involving abuse are handled with care and gravity. They are never romanticized.
If you are a survivor or in crisis, support resources are listed at the end of the book. You are not alone.

This story may be difficult for some readers. Please take care in deciding whether and when to read it.

Resources & Support
If anything in this story resonates too closely, you’re not alone:

• RAINN – National Sexual Assault Hotline

• The Trevor Project – LGBTQ+ Crisis Support

• BetterHelp – Online Therapy

• MentalHealth.gov

I just wanted to give this release the space it deserves. Stories like this need time to breathe — and to be heard.

Thank you for trusting me with these characters, and for supporting stories that reach deeper.
