⸻ The Vlogger Next Door When Paige Bueckers signs with the LA Sparks, she trades the familiarity of Connecticut for the fast pace and flashing lights of Los Angeles. New team, new city, new apartment - but nothing prepares her for the girl next door. Brielle Monroe Hurts is everything Paige doesn't expect: a stunning single mom to a one-year-old daughter named Esme, a wildly popular YouTube vlogger with millions of followers, and the little sister of NFL superstar Jalen Hurts. She's charming, chaotic in the most endearing way, and lives life like it's one giant, glittery vlog - and Paige can't stop watching. As late-night hallway run-ins turn into coffee on the balcony and quiet moments with Esme, Paige finds herself falling hard. But just as they begin to grow close, Brielle's world takes another spotlight turn - she's invited to compete on Dancing with the Stars, thrusting her deeper into the public eye and testing whether their private moments can survive a very public world. Set in the heart of LA, The Vlogger Next Door is a story about unexpected love, found family, and the kind of chemistry you just can't edit out. ⸻

Paige Bueckers is the star of UCONN's Women's Basketball team, but even an athlete of her status has to blow off steam somehow... On a very different part of the campus is UCONN journalism student Jovie Evans, who is not an athlete at all. In fact, she couldn't care less about sports. When the two meet in a bar and agree that they could use the outlet of each other sparks fly, but being an athlete with a secret isn't easy and being stuck with Paige Bueckers is even harder. This is a romance/mature story. *There is no coming out plot line to this story because I think queer spaces should be for queer people existing and not solely defined by justifying their existence. * Paige Bueckers is used as inspiration for her character here purely in likeness and stature as a basketball player, everything else about her is made up and imagined for this story, it is in no shape or form a reflection of her behaviour or beliefs. Some other teammates are mentioned by name but used solely for their names and nothing else.
