Fan Casting

When Brielle becomes the first woman recruited onto an elite all-men’s basketball team, she’s prepared for dirty looks, brutal practices, and having to prove herself every single day. What she isn’t prepared for is Nick. Cocky, infuriating, and convinced her spot on the team is some kind of publicity stunt, Nick makes it clear from day one that he thinks she doesn’t belong. Brielle hates everything about him—his arrogance, his smug attitude, and the way he always knows exactly how to get under her skin. But hatred turns dangerously addictive when arguments become flirting, tension becomes temptation, and late-night practices lead to a secret friends-with-benefits arrangement neither of them can seem to quit. There’s just one problem: relationships between teammates are strictly forbidden. If the team, sponsors, or management find out, everything they’ve worked for could fall apart. But the secrecy only makes it harder to stay away from each other. The risk becomes part of the thrill, and every stolen touch, whispered argument, and hidden moment pushes them closer to disaster. As competition intensifies on and off the court, Brielle and Nick are forced to decide if what they have is only physical—or if somewhere between the rivalry and the rules, they’ve fallen for the one person they were never supposed to want.
