Rising Star

Steff Maddox has always been determined to make it in the world of professional wrestling, even if it means starting from the bottom. When she's given the opportunity to become Charlie Dempsey's manager, she knows it's her big break-but it's only the beginning of a journey that will change everything.

As Steff navigates the fast-paced, unpredictable world of NXT, she finds herself facing challenges both in and out of the ring. Between balancing her new role, handling backstage politics, and the weight of her growing responsibilities, Steff knows one thing that will keep her grounded-her best friend, Nova Sinclair.

Nova, a talented photographer, has been struggling to keep her business afloat. When Steff offers her the chance to join the road and document the world behind the scenes, it's a lifeline Nova desperately needs. But as she spends more time with the NXT superstars, Nova finds herself drawn to someone unexpected-Lexis King. He becomes a friend and close confidant, protecting her on the road. He may just be what she needs to step outside of her comfort zone and maybe - just maybe - let someone into her heart again.

Meanwhile, Steff's bond with Charlie grows stronger, and what begins as a professional relationship slowly deepens into something more. Navigating her role as manager and her personal feelings isn't easy - and she must decide if she's ready to embrace her feelings for Charlie or let them go entirely.

In a world where only the strongest survive, Steff and Nova must face their biggest challenges yet: finding love, trusting the people around them, and figuring out where their hearts truly belong.
