Tatum Rose may stand just 5'5", but her presence towers over everyone on the court. An Italian-born junior and the fierce captain of the university's volleyball team, she's known for her relentless drive, razor-sharp focus, and a resting face that could shut down a press conference. Everyone on campus knows who she is - and most are too intimidated to even say hello. She's fiery, disciplined, and unapologetically blunt.
But to those who've taken the time to get close - like Paige Bueckers and the rest of the women's basketball team - Tatum is something entirely different. Loyal, soft-hearted, and quietly funny, she's the kind of friend who shows up at 3 a.m. with food, keeps every secret, and hugs like she means it. Paige never expected her friendship with Tatum to become something deeper... until quiet moments started to feel like gravity.
What happens when the girl who doesn't let her guard down starts to fall - and it's for someone who's been right beside her all along?
"Love Above the Net" is a story about breaking past walls, unexpected tenderness, and finding love in the last place you'd expect - in between killer serves and long-held glances.
