the situation

Lex Ortiga is stuck in a nightmare she can't quit. She's a college volleyball player on one of the best teams in the country-but the team is ruled by a captain who's tyrannical, obsessive, and impossible to work with. Every game turns into a power struggle, every practice into a war, and Lex's very public clashes with the captain get so messy they end up attracting a documentary crew.

Maeve Leon lives and breathes volleyball. Perfection, discipline, control-those are the things that made her the best, and she demands nothing less from her team. The only thing threatening that order is a lazy, bratty setter who questions her authority at every turn. Maeve should ignore her. She tries to. But their history makes that impossible, and Lex keeps pulling her attention whether she wants it or not.

When they realize the heat between them is more than just hatred, everything gets more complicated. What starts as tension turns into a secret situationship-raw, messy, and impossible to define. They give in to their attraction while trying to keep it hidden from the team... and from themselves. Because admitting it's real might cost them everything they've worked for.
