Chasing Together

Nioma Douglass is done playing it safe. At 25, she's determined to escape the stifling familiarity of Mirage Park and carve out a life that's truly her own. When she lands in sunny Oasis Springs, she's ready for a fresh start-new job, new town, and a chance to finally grow into the woman she knows she can be. What she doesn't expect is a charismatic, brooding roommate who's just as much at a crossroads as she is.

Akira Bando has been chasing a dream his whole life. As the son of a wealthy but controlling family, he's no stranger to high expectations and harsh criticism. But when his parents give him an ultimatum-give up football or give up their support-he bets everything on his shot at the NFL. Determined to prove himself, Akira heads to Oasis Springs to rebuild his life on his terms.

Thrown together by chance, Nioma and Akira couldn't be more different-or more alike. Between late-night conversations, shared meals, and navigating the pressures of their own ambitions, their friendship blossoms into something deeper. But with Akira fighting for a spot on a professional football team and Nioma balancing the demands of her new life, their bond is tested by public scrutiny, family expectations, and their own insecurities.

Can two people, both running from their pasts and chasing uncertain futures, find a way to chase their dreams-and each other-together? Or will the weight of their desires pull them apart?

Filled with romance, self-discovery, and the complexities of love in the modern world, Chasing Together is a heartfelt story about taking risks, finding yourself, and daring to believe in something-and someone-worth fighting for.
