Overview

Rules are made to be broken. But this one could cost them everything.

Maya Rossi has built her entire life around control. As the Head Graduate Assistant Athletic Trainer for a top-tier university program—and the daughter of legendary head coach Mike Rossi—she knows the playbook by heart: Be professional. Be invisible. And never, ever let them see you sweat. She has spent three years perfecting her composure, hiding the parts of herself that don't fit her father's game plan after he quietly destroyed her last relationship.+4

Sloane Maverick is chaos in a jersey. The star point guard and projected number-one draft pick plays with a reckless arrogance that thrills the fans and terrifies her opponents. She lives for the spotlight, but underneath the bravado, she’s terrified of being just another "X" on a roster—replaceable and temporary.+3

It starts with a late-night injury check that turns into a dare. It continues in supply closets, ice baths, and dark hotel rooms. But what begins as a physical game quickly becomes a dangerous obsession. Maya is the only one who sees the real Sloane, and Sloane is the only one who can make Maya lose control.+4

But the clock is ticking. With the championship tournament approaching, a teammate with a grudge and a phone full of evidence is watching their every move. Maya’s father has destroyed careers to keep his program clean before, and this time, the target is his own daughter.+3

Maya and Sloane have to decide if they’re just a temporary fix for each other—or if they’re ready to risk the season, the draft, and their futures to rewrite the rules.

A steamy, high-stakes sapphic sports romance about finding the courage to stop hiding and start living.
