Jamie Rowan is rising fast in the world of tennis. After claiming his first Grand Slam title, the spotlight on him burns brighter than ever. But beneath the cheers and the cameras, it's the girl he met on the first day of the US Open that he can't seem to forget.
Amara Foster is a senior at NYU, finishing her degree in sports organization. This is her fourth year working the tournament-long hours, endless schedules, and a front-row seat to greatness she's never wanted for herself. Until Jamie. The superstar who not only notices her, but remembers her name.
She's spent years trying to stay behind the scenes. He's spent his life living in the public eye. Yet when their worlds collide, something deeper takes hold-something that makes staying in the background impossible.
From two different worlds, but bound by the same love for the game, Jamie and Amara must decide if love can conquer the spotlight-or if it will break them first.

How many times have you walked past the person who is your forever?

The Weight of Us
Elena Morris has spent her entire life trying not to take up space. Quiet, bookish, and plus-size, she's mastered the art of invisibility at college-especially around guys like Jace Carter, the charming star athlete who leaves a wake of attention wherever he goes. So when Jace ends up in her creative writing class and-worse-asks her to tutor him, Elena braces herself for disaster. But Jace is nothing like she expected. He listens. He shows up. And beneath the swagger is someone surprisingly sincere... and maybe a little broken too. Over long nights in the library, shared stories, and too many vanilla lattes, something real begins to bloom-something that terrifies Elena even as it makes her feel more seen than ever before. One explosive kiss shatters the fragile line between them, and just as they begin to build something honest and beautiful, Elena discovers she's pregnant. What follows is a tender, raw, and deeply emotional journey-through fear, through love, through the ache of learning to believe she's enough. With Jace by her side, unwavering and all-in, Elena begins to find her voice not just in writing... but in life.Complete

|| behind the court line || carlos alcaraz ||
In a world where every point can decide a career and perfection is a daily demand, even the smallest distraction can be disastrous. Elena - composed, distant, and painfully professional - knows this better than anyone. Working behind the scenes as part of the medical team for top tennis players, she's learned how to keep emotions in check. Always in the background. Never too close. Rules that are never meant to be broken. Until they are. Carlos Alcaraz - young, unpredictable, electric. Known not just for his game, but for a presence that's impossible to ignore. Even for her. On the surface, they have nothing in common - except the growing proximity that no one is supposed to notice. Too often. Too intense. It starts with fleeting moments. Lingering glances between points, the brush of a hand during a taped wrist, conversations that last longer than they should in the hallway after lights-out. Then a few drinks, a harmless game, and a door that closes behind them. Set against the backdrop of one of the world's biggest tournaments - Wimbledon - this is a story of two people who never planned to fall into each other's orbit. It's not quite love. Not yet. It's tension, raw and electric. It's temptation. And it's the slow realization that some things, once started, are impossible to control. But the closer they get, the harder it is to tell the game from the truth. And when everything starts to spiral like an unforced error under pressure, someone will have to risk something greater than a match. Can you keep your distance when your body remembers every touch? Can you ignore what should've never happened - but did, in a locked room, under cover of night, with someone breathing your name? Can you stay detached when one look is all it takes to lose yourself?Complete
