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.

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
