- Romance
- Erotica
Wrenleigh Davis is drowning. The rookie point guard for the Indianapolis Fever carries the crushing weight of her mother’s verbal abuse and a career spiraling out of control. Once, basketball meant laughter and late-night bets with her dad. Now it feels like a cage. Roman Cole, the Pacers’ ice-cool shooting guard with NBA royalty in his blood, is counting the days until Boston calls him home. Their first clashes spark like live wires—until a desperate front-office scheme throws them together at a charity gala. One headline later, their jerseys are sold out. The deal is simple: keep pretending. But Roman’s calm confidence starts cracking Wren’s armor, and the line between performance and real connection blurs with every stolen glance. As family ghosts and legacy pressures close in, Wren must decide if she’s brave enough to pass the ball—and her heart—to someone who refuses to let her fall. A scorching sports romance about trust, healing, and the assists that change everything.
