(rivals to lovers, small town, sports) [WATTYS 2024 GRAND PRIZE WINNER] (Season 3 coming soon) After a devastating Olympic loss puts her career in a downward spiral, an aging skier returns to her laid-back mountain hometown to rediscover her love of her sport and instead finds herself falling for a rival athlete. *** A year away from what might be her last chance to win Olympic gold, twenty-seven-year-old alpine skier Juniper James shocks everyone by announcing she won't race this year. Returning to her mountain hometown hoping to rediscover the spark that once drove her to World Cup glory, she instead crosses paths with the rival who shut her out of the podium at the last Olympics. For Summer Li, nothing is more important than skiing. At twenty years old, she has already won Olympic silver, but an accident has left her desperate to get back on her skis before the world learns the extent of her injury. She came to Crystal Peaks to lay low while she recovers. The last thing she needs is the woman she once idolized hanging around asking questions. Both struggling with career lows, Juniper and Summer have more in common than they think. Even as they push each other, sparks begin to fly, but Juniper blames Summer for her slump, and Summer isn't going to let a relationship distract from her recovery. And only one of them can win the gold medal. This inconvenient attraction seems on a course for disaster from the start. But these are women who face the impossible every day, and there's a magic in the mountains that can thaw even the coldest hearts. *** Cleat Cute meets Delilah Green Doesn't Care. *** Season One complete at 90k words.

Violetta (Violet) Jackson has big dreams. None of which happen to include sitting in detention for a week straight for a lab disaster that wasn't even her fault. That's all thanks to Will Hawthorne, his friends (one of whom she unfortunately used to date and now torments her whenever he gets the chance), as well as a coincidental meeting with a kindhearted woman who Violet discovers to be Will's mother. Violet's goal remains unwavering - keep her head down at school and win the upcoming battle of the bands contest that would enable her to pursue her music career - but with Will now intrigued by her inexplicably taking the fall for him, that goal is easier said than done. Still, Will begins to prove himself as more than just a temporary derailing of all her best-laid plans, and Violet starts to see a side of him she's never paid attention to before - his optimism, contagious enthusiasm, and nerdy, unabashed love for anything to do with outer space. But as the end of senior year and the deadline for the contest approaches, Violet's hope of staying in the shadows starts to crumble and cause turmoil for her and her dreams in more ways than one. A story about love, loss, family, friends, dreams, music, and letting your true self shine through.

Reading 'VS' is like inhaling a breath of fresh air." -@nobodyshallfindthis
