✨ Synopsis The year is 2025, and UConn women's basketball is entering a new era. With Paige Bueckers drafted into the WNBA, the torch is passed to Azzi Fudd, now 22, who must embrace her role not only as a star shooter, but as the leader of the Huskies. Around her, a roster stacked with promise: Caroline Ducharme, KK Arnold, Ice Brady, Ashlynn Shade, highly-touted freshman Sarah Strong, powerhouse forward Sarah Williams, and transfer guard Kayleigh Heckel. Expectations are sky-high: a national championship run feels within reach. But everything shifts when a surprise transfer arrives: Alyssa Miller, a 22-year-old with undeniable talent and a sharp edge. From her first practice, she stuns teammates and turns heads. Yet Alyssa carries a secret that could change everything: she is the hidden granddaughter of legendary coach Geno Auriemma. Nobody knows. Not the media. Not the team. Not even Azzi-yet. What begins as rivalry and tension between Azzi and Alyssa slowly transforms into something deeper, hotter, and far more dangerous. With the season on the line, and eyes everywhere, Azzi must balance her responsibility as leader, her growing connection with Alyssa, and the risk of a secret that could unravel the program. In the heat of competition, under the weight of expectations, one truth becomes clear: sometimes love is born under the greatest pressure. Chapter with * = smutComplete

Tangled Nets
In her final year at UConn, Paige Bueckers is focused on one thing: leaving it all on the court. With her eyes on a national title and the WNBA draft, distractions are off-limits-until she meets Kendall Brady, the fiercely passionate and sharp-tongued lacrosse coach at nearby Storrs High... and Ice Brady's older sister. Kendall has sworn off athletes-especially the golden girl types with headlines at their feet and a world beyond the gym. But Paige isn't just any athlete. She's kind, relentless, and unexpectedly easy to talk to. What starts as casual run-ins and playful banter quickly turns into stolen moments, late-night phone calls, and something neither of them expected to feel during the most pivotal year of Paige's life. As their connection deepens, so does the pressure-from the media, from Ice, from their careers. Paige has the world watching her next move. Kendall just wants to keep her heart safe. But love, like lacrosse and basketball, doesn't always play by the rules. Will they risk everything for something real... or walk away before the buzzer sounds? ⸻Complete
