Lucia Costa is a college student living with three roommates, all guys, whose never quite had regular love. Sure she grew up with a big family, but with her dad raising her and her four older brothers, she grew up around more rough housing than showcased loved. Wanting to make more friends, the regulars in the restaurant she works at seem to be the perfect choice. Her regulars? The UConn women's basketball team.

Azzi Fudd is quiet, serious, and laser-focused on basketball. Grace, her outgoing and magnetic best friend, is the light in every room-funny, warm, and effortlessly charming. They've been inseparable for years, but Azzi's been hiding one thing: she's in love with Grace. Grace, always the life of the party, has never let anyone in too deep-especially not romantically. But when the season heats up and the pressure mounts, the lines between friendship and something more begin to blur. Glances linger. Touches spark. And neither of them can deny the tension building between them. As media attention grows and emotions run high, Azzi and Grace must face what's been unspoken for far too long: are they just best friends, or have they always been something more?
