Athlete Stories

Genevieve Hanani has everything the world says should make her happy beauty, fame, and a career most can only dream of. But behind the flawless photos and glittering lights, she's breaking under the weight of expectations, criticism, and the haunting voice of her mother telling her she'll never be more than a pretty face. Luka Dončić lives in a different kind of spotlight one filled with pressure, performance, and the constant reminder that success can disappear with one bad game. He's used to keeping his guard up ever since he was traded to the Lakers, to staying focused on the next win. That is, until Genevieve walks into his gym, drenched in charm and chaos, accidentally throwing her water bottle at him and changing everything. What begins as a friendship built on quiet understanding and late-night talks soon becomes something deeper something neither of them were ready for. Luka makes Genevieve feel seen in ways she's never known, while she reminds him there's more to life than the scoreboard. But when the noise of the world grows louder paparazzi flashes, family pressures, and fear of heartbreak. Genevieve must decide if love can really be enough to silence the voices that have always told her she's not.

Emery James came to Southeastern State University to rebuild-her swimming career, her confidence, and maybe even herself. But summer training is lonely, the dorm is quiet, and the weight of her ruined senior year still lingers like chlorine in her lungs. Wes Callahan has everything riding on his arm. The freshman quarterback is under pressure to perform, lead, and stay focused. Romance isn't on the playbook-until a quiet girl with a determined stare starts crossing his path in the shared halls of Spark Performance Center. When a late summer bonfire draws them together, the chemistry is impossible to ignore. Between early lifts, whispered secrets, and stolen glances, Emery and Wes find themselves navigating the unexpected highs and terrifying lows of first love under the Friday night lights-and far from home. But Emery's past won't stay buried, and Wes is one hit away from the spotlight or the bench. Can two freshmen with everything to prove learn to trust each other before the season-and their hearts-slip away? A slow-burn college sports romance full of aching tension, real vulnerability, and moments that will leave you breathless.

Elijah has always been quiet, overlooked, the nerdy, soft spoken baby of the family while his older brother, Asher, is the loud, reckless golden boy, thriving under Friday night lights with his tight knit group of football playing friends. Among Asher's friends is Jaxon, cocky, untouchable, and completely out of Elijah's league, not that it stops the crush he's been harboring for years. Between wild parties, secrets, and the ever present chaos of high school, Elijah finds himself caught in a dangerous game as he finally purses his crush on his brother's best friend. But with rumors, reputations, and hidden relationships, getting close to Jaxon might just be the worst mistake Elijah's ever made. (BoyxBoy)

In a town where the high school football team rules the school, Amelia is just another face in the crowd. Sure, her dad is the football coach but Amelia's idea of "Friday night lights" revolves around studying until lights are out. Trying to impress her father who only knows football and her mother's high expectations, Amelia puts her head down and tries her best to satisfy them. After accidentally ending up at a party one night (without her mother's permission of course), Amelia finds herself thrown into the world of the infuriatingly gorgeous yet arrogant Zack Darrington. Zack was never part of a crowd. He's king of the city: the best running back in the state- if not the entire country. Flirtatious, cocky, and a skilled player in all senses, Amelia is not the type of girl he typically surrounds himself with. Everyone knows Zack Darrington. No one knows Amelia Hayes. Football is his world while she wishes it wasn't a part of hers. At first glance, these two couldn't be more different but deep down, they may be more similar than they think.
