Soft Doesn't Mean Safe| Paige Bueckers
Raina Monica Hill has been famous since birth-daughter of R&B royalty, heartbreak in her pen, and softness that stings if you get too close. Her viral debut album Soft Doesn't Mean Safe wasn't supposed to turn her into a campus legend. She just needed to get it out of her system before moving on and focusing on her business. But peace is a luxury. And Paige Bueckers? Is a problem. Star guard of the UConn women's basketball team, Paige is magnetic, untouchable, and not even trying to flirt-until Raina's roommate, who happens to be besties with the whole roster, drags her straight into the team's orbit. What starts as casual tension turns into midnight conversations, inside jokes, and stolen glances that feel too close to the lyrics Raina swore she'd never live again. But when feelings grow deeper, and secrets from Paige's past start to surface, the same walls that protect them might be the ones that tear them apart. Because love is music-and neither of them knows the key.Complete
