Paige Bueckers never expected to lose her focus to anyone-until she met Shaylin "Shay" Donnelly, UConn's senior cheer captain with a Boston accent sharp enough to cut glass and one-liners that could bring the entire student section to tears laughing. Shay is one of a kind: quick-witted, effortlessly funny, and sassy in a way that makes Paige grin even when she's trying not to.

Shay owns every room she walks into-commanding the sidelines with fearless energy, big personality, and the kind of charisma that turns heads without even trying. She's the girl who can hype up an arena, roast someone in five words, and still flash a smile that somehow softens Paige's entire world.

Paige finds herself drawn to her before she can even explain it-first to the voice, then to the confidence, then to the heart buried underneath the humor. Shay sees Paige in a way no one else does, challenging her, teasing her, grounding her, and pushing her to laugh at herself. And suddenly the ice-cold, hyper-focused Paige Bueckers is falling-hard-for the sassy Boston girl who cheers louder, shines brighter, and makes her feel understood in ways she didn't know she needed.

In the blistering heat of a Texas summer and the ever-demanding grind of pro sports, two worlds collide under the bright stadium lights - one of polished court dominance, the other of glittering performance perfection. Paige Bueckers, the golden girl of professional basketball, is used to pressure. She thrives in it. As the newly minted star of the Dallas Wings, she's expected to carry the franchise on her shoulders - all eyes watching, all bets placed. But off the court, Paige is more than just a sharpshooter. She's quietly lonely, privately soft, and increasingly distracted by the woman who dances at halftime with effortless grace and a smile that makes her forget the score. Shayne Miller, a third year Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, knows how to keep things presentable. Always polished, always poised - it's what Judy demands, and it's what Shayne's learned to survive on. There's no room for messy feelings, no space for slip-ups or scandal. Fraternizing with players is off-limits. And catching feelings for a WNBA star with sky-blue eyes and a crooked little grin? Completely out of the question. Until it's not. A chance encounter at a joint team event - a stumble, a waist grab, and one blush too deep - sets everything into motion. What starts as a harmless DM from Paige asking for a "bar recommendation" quickly spirals into late-night texts, rooftop meetups, and an undeniable tension neither of them can laugh off anymore. Paige, the lovesick basketball player who doesn't know how to play it cool, and Shayne, the random girl from the south who happened to play a Dallas sport with walls too high and a heart too guarded, find themselves caught between the spotlight and the quiet pull of something real. But under the weight of public image, personal boundaries, and unspoken rules, falling in love isn't just risky - it's damn near dangerous. Especially when the world is watching.

Zahara Castle plays defense like her life depends on it-on the soccer field and everywhere else. She's intense, untouchable, and never afraid to speak her mind, making it clear she doesn't have time for games, drama, or feelings. So when Paige Bueckers, a star on the basketball team, takes a dare from her teammates to try and date someone before the season ends, they point her toward the one girl no one's been able to crack. But Zahara isn't just a challenge-she's real, unpredictable, and maybe exactly what Paige wasn't ready to fall for. ✯ 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝: 𝐣𝐮𝐥.𝟎𝟐.𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝: 𝐭𝐛𝐝

Paige Bueckers is riding high in her senior year at UConn-national player of the year buzz, sold-out arenas, and WNBA scouts in every gym. But when a private group chat leak hits the internet, her carefully guarded secret is suddenly front-page news: she has a major crush on global superstar Huda Reyes, the Dominican music icon topping charts and breaking hearts worldwide. What starts as a viral headline turns into a media frenzy Paige isn't ready for. Fans are shipping the two, reporters won't stop asking about it, and her teammates are living for the drama. But things get even more complicated when Huda herself responds-with a flirty lyric, a cryptic post, and an unexpected backstage invitation. Now Paige is juggling March Madness pressure, WNBA draft decisions... and maybe, just maybe, the chance that her celebrity crush isn't so one-sided after all. ⸻

ᴀᴢᴀʟᴇᴀ ғᴀʏᴇ ɢʀɪғғɪɴ is Aubrey Griffin's younger sister. Expect she's not like her brothers, sister or dad who all play basketball. She totally different from that. She's quiet, gentle soul, keeps to herself, definitely antisocial, and 𝒹ℯ𝒶𝒻. Her best friend is probably her sister and the lovely Azzi Fudd would also be her friend outside of her family. Their love for books is what brought them together. ᴘᴀɪɢᴇ ᴍᴀᴅɪsᴏɴ ʙᴜᴇᴄᴋᴇʀs is the face of NCAA Women's basketball. Everyone knows her as the star of UConn. From her charismatic personality, internet fame, star power on the court, Paige Bueckers was someone everyone wanted to be with. But what happens when her teammate's sister catches her eye. With Paige's unexpected interest in Azalea, and with the blossoming new friends and company, Azalea finds herself somewhere she never thought she'd be. With new friends, people actually wanting to know her, will Azalea welcome Paige in or will she push her away? "𝒯𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝒾𝓈𝓃'𝓉- 𝓌ℯ 𝒸𝒶𝓃'𝓉-" Azalea stammers, as she looks up at Paige, but Paige is quick to cut her off. "𝓕𝓪𝔂𝓮. 𝓕𝓸𝓻 𝓸𝓷𝓬𝓮 𝓬𝓪𝓷 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓼𝓽𝓸𝓹 𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓻𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓴𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓵𝓮𝓽 𝓶𝓮 𝓴𝓲𝓼𝓼 𝔂𝓸𝓾?"

Camilla Fontaine and Paige Bueckers don't talk about the past. Not the friendship that made them untouchable. Not the fight that turned them into strangers. And definitely not the grudge that never really cooled off. But now? They're stuck in the same court, playing for the same team, pretending the silence between them isn't suffocating. The problem is, Paige and Camilla never learned how to stay quiet. Not with each other. Not when every word cuts deeper than it should. Not when no amount of fake smiles can hide the fact that they can't stand each other. Because love and hate? They're just two sides of the same poison.

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? ⸻

Juliette Quinn steps quietly into UConn's women's basketball world, behind the camera, behind the scenes. As the team's new Senior Media Associate and best friend to fiercely protective star guard Nika Mühl, she knows the rules: staff don't get involved with players. Nika's already warned her that Paige Bueckers isn't someone Juliette should trust with her heart. But some connections refuse to stay hidden. In a world where loyalty is tested and every glance speaks volumes, Juliette finds herself caught between desire, friendship, and secrets that won't stay buried. Because not every meeting stays off the record. ____________ paige bueckers x fem oc

They met as neighbors. Became something more over smoothies, secrets, and stolen glances. Paige Bueckers is the freshly drafted face of the Dallas Wings - smart, calm under pressure, and not exactly expecting to fall for anyone this summer. Avery Bennett is new to town, a former Alabama cheerleader with a ballet background, a quiet Instagram presence, and a job she doesn't talk about yet. She's also fiercely private, fiercely kind, and very much not into coffee. But when a chance meeting at a coffee shop leads to unexpected connection, what follows is a summer of slow-burning moments, late-night texts, and two girls trying to figure out how to let someone in - when the world is always watching. A tender, emotional, strangers-to-lovers romance set against the backdrop of Dallas heat, basketball games, friendship, and the kind of love that's more soft than loud - but hits just as hard.

Jackie de Valois didn't ask to leave France. She didn't ask to move to a strange neighborhood in Minnesota, or to start third grade in a language she barely knows. She definitely didn't ask to feel invisible in a house full of loud, brilliant siblings. Then she meets Paige Bueckers-her tiny, talkative neighbor with a basketball in one hand and a whole lot of confidence in the other. Paige doesn't care that Jackie mixes up English words or that she likes hockey better than dolls. Paige just shows up-sleepovers, school days, and all the little moments in between. Together, they take on, high school, college, the spotlight, and the wild, beautiful love story they created.
