Overview

The spotlight’s never been hotter, and neither has their love.

Lex Bennet didn’t plan on falling for Eva Montgomery—her fiercest collegiate basketball rival, turned teammate, turned secret girlfriend. Now, with the cameras off and the season over, they finally have a shot at something real. For once, Lex isn’t chasing wins. She’s chasing a future.

But being in love with one of the most recognizable faces in women’s sports means there’s no such thing as off-the-clock. Eva’s rising star draws endorsements, headlines, and pressure Lex never expected. When the pair signs on to a new, high-profile basketball league in Miami, the glare of fame only intensifies—and so do the cracks in their bond. And just when Lex starts to wonder if their love can survive life in the spotlight, a devastating injury threatens to upend everything.

Suddenly, it’s not just about whether Lex and Eva can go the distance—but whether they’re strong enough to hold on when everything around them begins to fall apart.
