Bank Shot [PRE-ORDER SIGNED PAPERBACK]

¥2,913 JPY

THIS IS A SIGNED PRE-ORDER. COPIES WILL BE SHIPPED AFTER THE JUNE 16, 2026 PUBLICATION DATE.

A struggling college basketball captain and an unhappy overachiever find solace in each other in this sweet and spicy new adult sapphic romance.

GJ Mitchell is not having a good season. Despite having prepared for her senior year of college her entire life, she’s cracking under the pressure of leading a top women’s college basketball team. It doesn’t help that her coach doesn’t seem to like her and she’s getting outplayed by a breakout transfer student.

Leah Moretti has no idea who she is or what she wants. It hasn’t been easy to develop a personality living in the shadow of her overbearing, WNBA-bound twin sister. And her parents have always made it clear who the favorite is and it’s not Leah—not that Leah has ever told them how she feels about that. She instead keeps trying (and failing) for any kind of approval by doing extracurriculars she doesn’t care about and chasing situationships that are no good for her.

Desperate to get over yet another directionless fling and regain some control over her life, Leah flirts her way into GJ’s bed. Dating her sister’s teammates has always been strictly forbidden but Leah’s certain they can keep their arrangement a secret—it’s not like no strings attached GJ would want something serious, anyway. As time goes on, however, the lines get blurry and their attempt at keeping things casual to escape their respective realities doesn’t seem so casual after all.

In this sapphic romance, a superstar women’s college basketball player and a commitment-phobe college student navigate complicated feelings—and busy schedules—after a photo of the two of them goes viral and fans theorize that they’re a couple.

Maya’s goals are simple: keep her grades up so she can go to graduate school, prove to her hometown that she can handle the Colorado cold, and avoid the mess of romantic relationships by keeping things casual with everyone.

Theo is on the fast track to becoming the future of women's basketball, and she's been preparing her entire career for it. She just didn't realize that she'd become a celebrity in the process—or that people would care so much about her personal life.

When a photo taken of the two of them after a game sparks dating rumors, Maya uses it as a way to get closer to Theo—and as a way to hopefully get over her crush on Theo in the process.
