Before the championships, before UConn, before marriage and baby Harper-there was 2017. Paige Bueckers, 15, and Azzi Fudd, 14, were two of the brightest young stars in women's basketball, thrown together on Team USA's U16 squad. The problem? They couldn't stand each other. Paige thought Azzi was too serious, too polished, too perfect. Azzi thought Paige was cocky, loud, and reckless. But traveling the world together meant there was no escape. Through long practices, curfews, bus rides, and the pressure of wearing red, white, and blue, their rivalry slowly began to shift. Enemies became teammates. Teammates became friends. And maybe-just maybe-something deeper was already burning between them, even if they didn't have words for it yet.

On the court, they're unstoppable. Off the court, they're unfinished business. They had it all. The love story everyone envied, the chemistry no one could touch. Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd were inseparable-until the WNBA draft tore them apart. Rumors. Distance. Lies. Azzi believed Paige had betrayed her. Paige swore she hadn't. By the time the truth mattered, their love was already broken. A year later, fate plays its cruelest card: Paige and Azzi are teammates again, reunited on the Dallas Wings. On the court, their connection is magic. Off the court, it's war. But buried under the anger and heartbreak, the fire between them still burns. Second chances don't come easy. The question is-will this one save them, or break them for good?

Azzi Fudd entered the LAPD as the academy's brightest star-top scores, flawless instincts, and a reputation built on discipline and drive. But none of that mattered the second she met her training officer. Officer Paige Bueckers is everything Azzi wasn't prepared for: sharp, relentless, impossibly composed, and feared by every rookie unlucky enough to land in her patrol car. Paige doesn't bend rules. She doesn't accept excuses. And she definitely doesn't get close to anyone she trains. From day one, Paige makes one thing clear-Azzi will earn her way, or she'll break under the pressure. But Azzi doesn't break. She learns. She listens. She grows. And somewhere in the long nights and high-stakes calls, she becomes the one rookie Paige can't forget how to breathe without. A year later, Azzi is no longer Paige's trainee. She's her equal. Her partner. And the one person Paige should never want. The LAPD has rules. Their careers have boundaries. Their feelings have consequences. But some lines were meant to blur. And on the streets of Los Angeles-where danger waits around every corner and trust can save a life-Azzi and Paige are about to discover that the hardest thing to protect... is each other.

She has followed her career for years, having had a mild crush on the girl for quite some while, and finally they're at the same after party. Azzi can't believe that she catches the lead singer of one of her favorite bands staring at her, Paige Bueckers. She's been a fan for some years, she's even been to one of their concerts before, but seeing Paige in the same room? She doesn't know what to do with herself. What happens when the actress Azzi Fudd and the lead singer Paige Bueckers finally cross paths?
