All Maddie Clare ever wanted was to be normal. She spent her whole life making sure she fit in with the popular crowd. She bought all the right clothes, talked to all the right people, and even steered clear of making enemies. And it was all thanks to Paige.
Paige Turner was everybody's favorite person. She was everything you'd want in a best friend - and that's exactly why Madison sought her out. Maddie needed a lot of help, and if anyone could help her, Paige would be the one to do it. Paige turned Maddie into your everyday good girl. She kept Maddie away from the wrong clubs, made sure she maintained flawless grades, and went through great lengths to get her the perfect boyfriend.
But Paige had secrets, many of which she kept from Maddie. While Paige may have given Maddie the perfect life, her own had a shady past and a not-so-happy future. All of this is revealed to Maddie when Paige goes missing. Now she has no one to rely on.
All Madison has now is detached personality and a ratty old journal that Paige hid in a secluded attic. However, that ratty old journal just might be what Maddie needed all along as she digs deeper into Paige's search for sweetness.

Delinquent Camp
Tragedies change people. That being said, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the accident changed Gemma. Anger problems seem like the only issue to her, but her father and evil step-mother see a lot more than that lying underneath. Unable to help her, they go to their last resort; they send her to Safe Haven, a summer camp for troubled teens. Haven is a place where misunderstood teenagers can realize their problems and work through them in a safe environment. At least, that's what Gemma thought. The first things that come are the notes. Each one is written with a specific message on it, targeting the accident that killed her best friend and blaming her. The next are the secrets; everyone has one. But does everyone have one about her? The threads start unraveling as Gemma searches for the person who's hurting her; the person who is trying to drive her insane. But the closer she comes to uncovering the secret, the closer she comes to realizing that not everyone is who they seem.

Call My Bluff ∞ Paige Bueckers Sequel
❝ɪ ʙʟᴀᴍᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ʙʟᴀᴍᴇ ᴍᴇ. ɪ ᴘᴜᴛ ꜰɪʀᴇ ᴛᴏ ʏᴏᴜʀ ɢᴀꜱᴏʟɪɴᴇ.❞ there's a fine line between control and collapse, and Lorelei Campbell has always been both. But what happens when your world finally destructs and you're standing in the middle of it? When the calm you built becomes smoke in your lungs, and the person holding the match is the only one you ever let close enough to strike it. Paige Bueckers was supposed to be steady. Light. The thing that quieted the noise. Instead, she became the noise-louder, sharper, impossible to ignore. Now every glance feels like a challenge. Every word, a blade. The distance between them hums like static-too charged, too fragile, too dangerous to touch. And yet neither of them can look away. Because love like this doesn't fade. It festers. It rewrites you. It dares you to walk through the fire just to prove you can. Lorelei's always been good at pretending she's unshakable. But Paige knows better. She always has.

pick your poison; pb
Camilla Fontaine and Paige Bueckers don't talk about the past. Not the friendship that made them untouchable. Not the fight that turned them into strangers. And definitely not the grudge that never really cooled off. But now? They're stuck in the same court, playing for the same team, pretending the silence between them isn't suffocating. The problem is, Paige and Camilla never learned how to stay quiet. Not with each other. Not when every word cuts deeper than it should. Not when no amount of fake smiles can hide the fact that they can't stand each other. Because love and hate? They're just two sides of the same poison.Завершенная история

𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗘𝗥 𝗠𝗘 𝗢𝗡, 𝓑𝗔𝗕𝗬
In the blistering heat of a Texas summer and the ever-demanding grind of pro sports, two worlds collide under the bright stadium lights - one of polished court dominance, the other of glittering performance perfection. Paige Bueckers, the golden girl of professional basketball, is used to pressure. She thrives in it. As the newly minted star of the Dallas Wings, she's expected to carry the franchise on her shoulders - all eyes watching, all bets placed. But off the court, Paige is more than just a sharpshooter. She's quietly lonely, privately soft, and increasingly distracted by the woman who dances at halftime with effortless grace and a smile that makes her forget the score. Shayne Miller, a third year Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, knows how to keep things presentable. Always polished, always poised - it's what Judy demands, and it's what Shayne's learned to survive on. There's no room for messy feelings, no space for slip-ups or scandal. Fraternizing with players is off-limits. And catching feelings for a WNBA star with sky-blue eyes and a crooked little grin? Completely out of the question. Until it's not. A chance encounter at a joint team event - a stumble, a waist grab, and one blush too deep - sets everything into motion. What starts as a harmless DM from Paige asking for a "bar recommendation" quickly spirals into late-night texts, rooftop meetups, and an undeniable tension neither of them can laugh off anymore. Paige, the lovesick basketball player who doesn't know how to play it cool, and Shayne, the random girl from the south who happened to play a Dallas sport with walls too high and a heart too guarded, find themselves caught between the spotlight and the quiet pull of something real. But under the weight of public image, personal boundaries, and unspoken rules, falling in love isn't just risky - it's damn near dangerous. Especially when the world is watching.
