Jabria "Jabo" Russell is a rising track star with everything on the line-except control. When her family uproots her to the political spotlight as the daughter of Texas's newly elected first Democratic governor in 25 years, Jabo's carefully planned senior year spirals out of reach. New city. New school. New rules.
Christian "CJ" Dawson is fighting to step out of his older brother's NFL shadow and carve his own path to the league. With big dreams, fierce determination, and a past full of scars, CJ balances the pressure to succeed with the need to stay true to himself and the place and people that ground him.
When Jabria and CJ's worlds collide, the undeniable spark between them challenges everything they thought they knew about family, ambition, and love. Caught between the expectations of her family, the pressure of her dreams, and a love that defies their worlds, Jabria must decide what it truly means to run her own race-and whether she's ready to chase the curve that could change everything.
Will they risk everything for a chance at love? Or will the stakes of power and legacy pull them apart before they even get started?
Chasing the Curve is a slow-burn romance about ambition, identity, and the messy, beautiful fight for the life-and love-you want to claim as your own.
