At just nineteen, Samara Reed was unstoppable.
The number-one ranked female college hooper in the nation, a walking highlight reel, and the face of million-dollar NIL deals-Sam wasn't just winning. She was living a dream. And she was doing it all with Kenji, her day-one and basketball twin, right beside her.

Kenji had been born with a ball in his hands-literally. His first baby photos said it all. To Sam, he was the male version of her, and to ESPN, they were the future of the game.

But when a devastating injury sends Kenji's world crashing down, Samara loses more than just her teammate. She loses her balance... her rhythm... her heart for the game.

And that's when Block steps in.

Block isn't college-bright lights and packed arenas. He's the streets-high-level, calculating, and quietly building an empire that has nothing to do with basketball. He sees something in Sam, something raw and untapped, and one twist of fate pulls her straight into his world.

Now Samara stands at a crossroads:
The game she was born to play...
or the man who makes her feel alive for the first time.

But the deeper she falls for Block, the further she drifts from the one thing she always thought she'd die with-a love for basketball.

What happens when the court is no longer home?
What happens when you lose the heart for the game-
and find it somewhere you never expected?
