A serious injury threatens Lex Bennet’s ambition to play professional basketball, making her selection by Boston’s new expansion team an unexpected opportunity. The roster also includes Eva Montgomery, her college rival and the woman responsible for that injury. Becoming teammates requires cooperation before either has fully resolved the past. As antagonism gives way to attraction, Eva faces another pressure: the possibility of coming out while her career is under public scrutiny. Lex must decide what support looks like when her own future is still taking shape. This sports romance follows two women learning to share a court and negotiate a relationship, with old resentment and the visibility of professional competition complicating both.
