During her rookie year with the Dallas Wings, Paige Bueckers was used to the roar of the crowd, the rush of the court, and the unwavering focus of chasing her dreams. But one chilly evening in Dallas, something - or rather, someone - made everything else fade into the background. In the stands sat Callista, a strikingly beautiful Greek girl with glossy black hair that framed her delicate face and crystal-blue eyes that seemed to catch every flicker of light in the arena. She wasn't just another fan. Callista was there with her brother, their quiet but supportive presence coming from a different kind of loyalty - they were there for Maddy Segrist, Callista's sister-in-law to be. Paige couldn't help but notice the way Callista's gaze held steady, not just watching the game but soaking in every moment with a quiet intensity that mirrored her own passion for basketball. It was more than just support for family; it was something magnetic and real. As the season wore on, what started as stolen glances from opposite sides of the court slowly grew into whispered conversations, shared laughter, and a love as unexpected as it was undeniable. In the heart of Dallas, amidst the fast pace of a rookie year and the bright lights of professional basketball, Paige found herself falling - not just for the game she loved but for the girl with midnight hair and eyes like the clearest Mediterranean sky. ⸻

Paige Bueckers thought her senior year at UConn would be about basketball, championships, and closing one chapter before writing the next. She wasn't expecting Juliette Tatum - the impossibly beautiful, untouchable Victoria's Secret model whose last name still belongs to the man who humiliated her. Three years older, endlessly guarded, and fresh off the kind of heartbreak that makes headlines, Juliette doesn't do athletes anymore. Not after him. But Paige isn't like anyone Juliette's ever met. What starts as quiet conversations, stolen glances, and accidental run-ins becomes something neither of them can explain - or resist. Paige is supposed to be focused on her future. Juliette is supposed to be finished with complicated love stories. And yet... With the whole world watching, Paige Bueckers is about to learn: Some games don't come with rules. Some hearts don't play fair. ⸻
