One boy's back. One won't let go. On and off the VR court, Casey Branson isn't playing nice-she's playing to win. *** Casey Branson didn't ask to go viral, but now she's trending... and trapped. One wrong play on the VR basketball court, one bad take off it, and she's toast. Everyone's watching. Rival teams want her off the board. Fans want her unfiltered. And two very different guys want her-and not for the game. Alex Santos: the heartbreaker who vanished, then came back with secrets and sad eyes. He says he left to protect her. He says he never stopped loving her. And honestly? She wants to believe him. And that heat? That tension? That look? Yeah. It's dangerous. Then there's Maxwell Van Allen. Obsessed. Polished. Twisted in all the wrong ways. He calls her a goddess. Says he wants to watch her burn for him. And Max doesn't take no for an answer. But Casey's determined to shoot before they see it coming. She's going to score that prize. And the rules? It's about who writes them. And guess what? It's her now.

When Casey Branson loses her spot as VR basketball team captain to former childhood crush turned rival Alex Santos, she must prove her worth on the court while navigating their fiery chemistry.

And walking the wrong path might cost her everything she loves.
