Kate's journey as she moves on from the heartbreak of her summer romance with childhood best friend Bella. Now, Kate has been drafted by the Las Vegas Aces-a fresh start in a new city with a new team and the promise of a bright future.
But starting over isn't always as simple as it seems.
As Kate throws herself into her rookie season, she finds herself crossing paths with Mariana Hart, a dedicated sports medicine intern for the Aces. At first, their relationship is strictly professional, but the more they interact, the more undeniable the chemistry between them becomes. What starts as an acquaintanceship gradually evolves into something deeper, with slow, simmering tension that neither of them can ignore.
As Kate struggles to move past the emotional baggage of her previous relationship, she's faced with a choice: keep her heart guarded or take a leap of faith with someone new. Can Mariana break down the walls Kate has carefully built around her heart? Or will Kate's past keep her from embracing a second chance at love?
Lost in Translation is a heartfelt story of self-discovery, healing, and love in its most unexpected forms. With a slow-burn romance, forced proximity, and a cast of characters who feel like family, this book will have you rooting for Kate as she navigates her new life on and off the court.

The Buzzer and the Blowdryer
When basketball phenom Paige Bueckers is drafted to the New York Liberty, she expects a whirlwind of press, pressure, and packed arenas-but not her. Harper Reyes, a fiercely independent hairstylist with a cult following and a salon tucked into a sun-drenched corner of SoHo, lives for creativity, connection, and control. She doesn't follow sports.

But when Paige walks into Harper's chair-fresh off a photoshoot, all charm and quiet confidence-worlds collide. Paige is drawn to Harper's honesty and heat, while Harper tries (and fails) to resist the gravity of a girl who's used to playing through the noise. In a city that never slows down, Paige and Harper find moments of stillness-between the buzzer and the blowdryer, between rising fame and quiet longing. As the season heats up and the spotlight burns brighter, they'll have to decide if love is just another New York moment... or something built to last. A story of style, sacrifice, and falling for someone you never saw coming.Complete

Blue Flames & Clear Heels
Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers never expected her first year in the league to be anything more than basketball, pressure, and proving herself on the court. But everything changes the night she walks into a dimly lit club on the outskirts of Dallas and locks eyes with Alessia Moretti-a stunning, fiercely independent 19-year-old dancer with a guarded heart, a Brazilian-Italian fire, and a past she keeps locked away beneath glitter and spotlights. What starts as fascination quickly turns into something deeper-something dangerous. For Paige, Alessia is everything she didn't see coming: bold, raw, complicated. And for Alessia, Paige is a risk-pure-hearted, rising fast, and too good to get tangled in her world. But love doesn't wait for the perfect moment. Under the flashing lights of the club and the bright lights of the arena, they'll have to navigate secrets, judgment, and the kind of passion that burns fast-and doesn't always play fair. Because falling in love was never part of the plan. But now... it's the only thing that matters. βΈ»Complete
