CAITLIN CLARK, the confident, charismatic basketball sensation coming off a historic college season is projected to be the WNBA's Rookie of the Year. Her dominance on the court should make her the next big thing—until her very public breakup with her cheating boyfriend leaves her reputation in shambles. Desperate to salvage her image and stay in the spotlight for all the right reasons, Caitlin stumbles into an unexpected solution: Alexandria Roman.
ALEXANDRIA ROMAN, a shy and private professional soccer star for the Chicago Red Stars, is everything Caitlin is not. Reserved, sweet, and determined to stay out of the media frenzy, Alex prefers the quiet life and has been successfully avoiding the limelight since her debut.
The two women crossed paths at the University of Iowa, where they shared the stage as Iowa's star athletes. Behind the scenes they also shared a close bond.
When they reunite at a charity event, their chemistry reignites, and a chance photo of the two sets the internet buzzing with rumors of a romance. For Caitlin, it's the perfect opportunity to rebuild her public image. For Alex, it's an uncomfortable spotlight, but one she can't seem to avoid—especially when Caitlin proposes a fake relationship to leverage the media's attention.
But as their faux-romance unfolds, the undeniable chemistry between them threatens to turn what was supposed to be a temporary arrangement into something real. Amidst jealousy, misunderstandings, and the pressures of fame, Caitlin and Alex must confront not only their past but the growing attraction that could change everything.

Author's Note Y'all I think I've cooked up a masterpiece. I have a soccer obsession so this way I can combine my two loves into one.
I wanted to do a college fic but I felt like those are overdone and I love WNBA Caitlin so I came up with this plot and there will be flashbacks so we get College Caitlin and WNBA Caitlin so a win is a win.
