Book Description: Paige has spent her entire college career with one goal: basketball. Her senior summer is supposed to be simple-train, soak up the last few months before the WNBA Draft, and enjoy the rare break from the spotlight. Then she meets Capri Collins. Capri isn't just a singer. She's the singer. A chart-topping R&B and pop superstar with sold-out stadium tours, hit songs everyone knows by heart, and a smile that can light up an arena. The world adores her, but almost no one gets to know the girl behind the fame. A chance meeting turns into late-night conversations, coffee runs that somehow stay secret, and a friendship neither of them expected. Paige finds herself falling for the woman behind the platinum records, while Capri discovers that the basketball star who treats her like a normal person might be exactly what she's been missing. But between championship expectations, a senior season under the brightest lights, world tours, paparazzi, and millions of fans invested in their every move, keeping their relationship private might be impossible. As Paige prepares for the biggest year of her career and Capri faces the pressure of staying at the top of the music industry, they'll have to decide whether love is worth risking the lives they've built. Because sometimes the greatest love stories don't happen under the spotlight. They happen when the crowd goes quiet.

ᴀᴢᴀʟᴇᴀ ғᴀʏᴇ ɢʀɪғғɪɴ is Aubrey Griffin's younger sister. Expect she's not like her brothers, sister or dad who all play basketball. She totally different from that. She's quiet, gentle soul, keeps to herself, definitely antisocial, and 𝒹ℯ𝒶𝒻. Her best friend is probably her sister and the lovely Azzi Fudd would also be her friend outside of her family. Their love for books is what brought them together. ᴘᴀɪɢᴇ ᴍᴀᴅɪsᴏɴ ʙᴜᴇᴄᴋᴇʀs is the face of NCAA Women's basketball. Everyone knows her as the star of UConn. From her charismatic personality, internet fame, star power on the court, Paige Bueckers was someone everyone wanted to be with. But what happens when her teammate's sister catches her eye. With Paige's unexpected interest in Azalea, and with the blossoming new friends and company, Azalea finds herself somewhere she never thought she'd be. With new friends, people actually wanting to know her, will Azalea welcome Paige in or will she push her away? "𝒯𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝒾𝓈𝓃'𝓉- 𝓌ℯ 𝒸𝒶𝓃'𝓉-" Azalea stammers, as she looks up at Paige, but Paige is quick to cut her off. "𝓕𝓪𝔂𝓮. 𝓕𝓸𝓻 𝓸𝓷𝓬𝓮 𝓬𝓪𝓷 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓼𝓽𝓸𝓹 𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓻𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓴𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓵𝓮𝓽 𝓶𝓮 𝓴𝓲𝓼𝓼 𝔂𝓸𝓾?"

Emmie Cano has been playing for USC for the past three years. She is not only the best player on the team but one of the best players in the country. She has an average point of 22 per game, and almost no one can guard her. That is, except for her competition, Paige Bueckers. Paige Bueckers is slightly above her with a 23-per-game average, securing her as the #1 spot as the best women's college basketball player. Emmie and Paige have been switching between the #1 and #2 spots for the past 3 years, with Emmie having the spot her freshman year. Everyone knows them as the biggest rivals in women's college basketball. Every game between USC v. UCONN becomes intense, with the highest watched and populated game of the entire season, with fans dying to see the interactions and rivalry between Emmie and Paige. The tension is high, and the thought of Paige makes Emmie's blood boil. While USC has treated her well in the past, Emmie was shocked to find an offer from UCONN's coach in her phone for her incoming senior year. Her first instinct was to ignore it and laugh, but then she thought. UCONN was closer to her family, given they live in NYC. Emmie, with her dad in a coma back home, time zones, being unable to see her family, and being on the opposite side of the world all took a toll on Emmie. Not only was UCONN more practical, but it was her dream since she was in 8th grade. She was not offered a spot at UCONN in the freshman recruitment process, and USC became her best offer. Although the thought of being on the same team as Paige enraged her, she knew Paige could not let her stop her. It was a challenging choice to make. USC felt like home for Emmie. From the warm weather to the team to her friends, she felt complete. Yet basketball is her life, and she knew UCONN could increase her skill and give her a better experience as a player and her life. So, after talking to UCONN's coach, her decision became clear. Emmie is going to UCONN.

Paige, the confident star of UConn's basketball team, and Emma, a shy but graceful ballet dancer, couldn't be more different. Yet, when Emma shyly offers Paige a simple flower, their worlds collide in an unexpected romance. As they navigate the challenges of school, sports, and distance, their connection deepens, blossoming into a love that surprises them both.

Tatum Rose may stand just 5'5", but her presence towers over everyone on the court. An Italian-born junior and the fierce captain of the university's volleyball team, she's known for her relentless drive, razor-sharp focus, and a resting face that could shut down a press conference. Everyone on campus knows who she is - and most are too intimidated to even say hello. She's fiery, disciplined, and unapologetically blunt. But to those who've taken the time to get close - like Paige Bueckers and the rest of the women's basketball team - Tatum is something entirely different. Loyal, soft-hearted, and quietly funny, she's the kind of friend who shows up at 3 a.m. with food, keeps every secret, and hugs like she means it. Paige never expected her friendship with Tatum to become something deeper... until quiet moments started to feel like gravity. What happens when the girl who doesn't let her guard down starts to fall - and it's for someone who's been right beside her all along? "Love Above the Net" is a story about breaking past walls, unexpected tenderness, and finding love in the last place you'd expect - in between killer serves and long-held glances.
