She was crowned Muse of the Court, not because she chased attention-but because grace followed her naturally. A top academic achiever, she stayed in her lane: books, medals, deadlines. Love was a distraction she had no time for.

He was the basketball captain-charismatic, confident, and the face everyone knew. Fame clung to him like sweat on a game night. But behind the cheers and spotlight was a boy who once believed in love... until it let him down. He played to win, not to feel.

They couldn't have been more different.
She was discipline. He was instinct.
She hid behind logic. He hid behind charm. And yet, when their worlds collided on the court-between competitions, crownings, and quiet moments-they both realized:

Some lines aren't meant to be drawn.
Some hearts aren't meant to stay guarded. And sometimes, the biggest victories happen off the scoreboard.

PAUL I cheated on my fiancée. Sophie and I were building our future. In love, happy, peaceful. Then she found a lump in her breast and I made the worst choice: I numbed my fear by sleeping with someone else. My worst mistake and my biggest regret. Now I see Sophie around town with him. She's radiant and laughing with people who actually show up. I'm trying to learn how to be a man who does. If she lets me, I'll spend the rest of my life proving I can choose her when it's hardest. If she lets me... SOPHIE I thought the promise was in sickness and in health. But he buried his fear in someone else. On the same night, I walked into a bookstore and meet the gentle giant owner who invites me to his book club full of misfits. I'm laughing again, I smile more than I ever have, I heal my heart. My ex says he can learn to stay, but my bookstore owner keeps showing up like it's as easy as breathing. I don't know what the future holds; I don't know if I'll win this battle against cancer, but I do know I'm done wasting time on people that love only when it's easy. CALLUM She came in to Rivers & Rhodes Bookstore and asked for books with happy endings only. I gave her a recommendation, an invitation, and an offer of friendship. Now, this beautiful brave woman is completely under my skin. I'm not here to win a competition against him. I'm here because choosing someone, second by second, is the only way I understand love.
