Paige, confident on the court but clueless in matters of the heart, starts to notice the shy intern who seems to hold entire oceans behind her eyes. But when jealousy, secrets, and misunderstandings rise like a tide between them, will either of them be brave enough to dive deeper?
A story of love, friendship, healing, and everything beneath the surface.

Hot Take, Wrong Chat
Paige Bueckers has spent her senior year focused on basketball, blocking out distractions, emotions, and definitely any hint of a crush-until Jordan Blake crashes into her world with that reckless charm, infectious laugh, and a friendship with half the UConn team. Cool, confident, and way too easy to fall for, Jordan becomes Paige's favorite complication. But everything changes with one text. What Jordan thought was a flirty (and very unfiltered) message to her tight inner circle-Azzi, KK, and Ice-was actually sent to everyone on the UConn women's team. Including Paige. Now the group chat is on fire, the locker room is buzzing, and Paige can't unread what she read-or unfeel what she's starting to feel. As tension, chemistry, and chaos collide, Jordan has to figure out if this embarrassing mess could somehow turn into the best thing she never meant to say out loud.Complete

"When I breathe, she stays. And when I can't, she holds on tighter."Complete
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
