matters of the heart
*Slow updates*| currently editing heavily. He needs the spotlight. She wants to disappear. What happens when they're forced to collide? *** After an injury nearly derailed his basketball career, UCLA senior Charlie Murtaugh has one last shot at going pro. Desperate to get back on scouts' radar, he agrees to be the subject of a feature article in the campus paper. What he doesn't expect? Getting assigned a nervous, basketball-illiterate sophomore who clearly wants nothing to do with him. Lorraine Perabo didn't sign up for this. Her first assignment as a journalism intern was supposed to be low-key, not shadowing the most talked-about athlete on campus. Charlie is cocky, intense, frustratingly charming... and completely off-limits. But as forced interviews turn into real conversations-and sparks-they find themselves relying on each other more than either expected. And when hearts get involved, they realise there are no rules when it comes to the matters of the heart.

Full-Court Pressed
Responsibilities-pressed together by someone always nearby, by constant nudges forward, by a camp that never really gives them space to be alone... or apart. For Nika, the pressure comes from everywhere: being watched, being responsible, and being stuck with Kate-the too-warm, too-likable, and relentlessly cheerful rival tied to years of college competition. Someone she's been trained to guard, to read, to shut down. Someone she knows how to keep in front of her. Until defense wasn't just strategy anymore-it was a shield she raised to keep her heart from getting too close. For Kate, it's quieter but heavier. Nika's presence lingers in the small moments: shared silence, deliberate closeness, late nights no camera ever catches. She's spent years learning how to break through defenses like Nika's-how to cut, how to draw fouls, how to force openings. What she wasn't prepared for was realizing she didn't have to drive past her anymore-for once, she could let the rivalry go, let herself stay. She didn't realize she was breaking through a different kind of defense now, one that wasn't drawn on a court, one Nika had built carefully around her heart, until it was already too late to pull back. Time slips by, days blur, feelings stack up. That's the full-court pressed. Not a game-but the constant closeness, the lack of escape, the emotional pressure of being pushed toward someone you're meant to compete against, not fall for. Full-Court Pressed is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers summer romance about what happens when college rivalry doesn't end at the buzzer. Now they're pressed from all sides by being stuck together, history, and friends messing with them. Between the cameras and the kids, there are private moments where feelings grow-whether they're ready for them or not.
