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.
