But when she catches the attention of Alex Muller-the tall, mysterious, way-too-hot basketball star with a reputation-her plans start falling apart.
Every girl wants him. His DMs are full. But somehow, his eyes always find her.
Will Grace survive this elite world... or fall too deep into something she never saw coming?
