Now working as the Strategic Communications and PR Director for the Dallas Wings, Azzi finds herself unexpectedly close to the game that once defined her.
When she meets Paige Bueckers, everything begins to shift.
Confident, persistent, and impossible to ignore, Paige doesn't just notice Azzi-she pursues her, challenging the walls Azzi has spent years building. What begins as tension and restraint slowly turns into something deeper, something Azzi swore she would avoid at all costs..
But being around basketball again begins to stir something in her. The practices, the games, and the energy brings her dream back to life; forcing her to confront not only her growing feelings for Paige, but the version of herself she thought she had lost.
Somewhere between healing, ambition, and unexpected connection, Azzi must decide if she's ready to risk the peace she has built, for a future she never allowed herself to imagine again.

OffSide Hearts
When Azzi Fudd transfers schools at the start of senior year, she plans to keep her head down, earn perfect grades, and chase her dream of UConn-no distractions, no drama. A "good girl" cheerleader who skips parties and follows rules, Azzi isn't prepared for Paige Bueckers: the school's star quarterback, football captain, and resident heartbreaker who thrives on attention and chaos. Their first meeting is a disaster. Paige, fresh from practice and still tangled up with the cheer captain, clocks Azzi as uptight and judgmental. Azzi sees Paige as everything she wants to avoid-reckless, arrogant, and exactly the kind of girl who derails futures. With Azzi's dad stepping in as the new football coach, avoiding Paige becomes impossible, and tension crackles between them every time they cross paths. But fate intervenes when they're paired for a history project neither of them wants. Forced proximity turns rivalry into reluctant understanding-and something far more dangerous. As sparks fly, family pressure mounts: Paige's parents see Azzi as a distraction from a USC-bound football legacy, while Azzi fights to prove her ambitions matter just as much. Caught between expectations and desire, Paige and Azzi must decide whether love can survive clashing dreams-or if supporting each other means letting go.Complete

Unexpected Overtime
Five years together had made Paige and Azzi feel unshakable. Teammates, partners, and each other's biggest supporters, their lives had always revolved around basketball and the future they were building side by side. But at the very start of the season, everything changed. A devastating ACL and MCL tear sidelines Azzi for the rest of the year, forcing her to watch from the stands while Paige continues to lead the team on the court.
