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. ⸻
