Chelsea has never cared about sports. But when she’s invited to sit courtside at a New York Rebels game, she welcomes the break from her usual routine. What she doesn’t expect is a basketball nearly colliding with her face—or the six-foot-four hottie who jogs over, flashing a heart-stopping grin, to retrieve it.
Adrienne “AD” Daniels is a player on and off the court, notorious for their inability to stay in a relationship. Still, something about Chelsea sticks with them—even though their instant connection can’t bring AD to offer more than one night.
But AD’s agent makes a pitch: Chelsea should pretend to be AD’s girlfriend. It’s a strategic move. AD, hoping to retire after this season, needs to lock down some brand deals—but their identity as a Black, nonbinary lesbian with a messy dating history makes sponsors wary. Chelsea, a sex-positive influencer, is ready to take her platform to a new level, and this feels like the perfect next step. With Chelsea’s network and AD’s star power, they could both strengthen their public images. Once the season ends, they’ll go their separate ways.
As the ruse starts to work and their connection deepens, Chelsea finds herself on unsteady ground. Falling for AD wasn’t part of the plan, and if she follows through, she just might lose her heart and the future she’s finally starting to build.
"Sapphic sports fans are overdue for a WNBA romance and this propulsive story doesn’t disappoint... nearly impossible to put down."—Kirkus (STARRED)

Critics' reviews
“Sapphic sports fans are overdue for a WNBA romance and this propulsive story doesn’t disappoint. When an errant basketball hits sex-positive influencer Chelsea Evans, sitting courtside and bored at a New York Rebels game, it’s retrieved by Adrienne 'AD' Daniels, a striking 6-foot-4-inch player. They flash Chelsea an irresistible smile and the two wind up at AD’s house for a hot hookup. Chelsea knows the score—including AD’s reputation as a player both on and off the court—but figures the encounter will be fodder for her social media, without disclosing AD’s identity, of course. Unfortunately, someone posts a photo of the two together, which gives AD’s manager an idea. A stable relationship would make AD, a nonbinary lesbian, more attractive to sponsors. For Chelsea, the WNBA affiliation would allow her to diversify her content and juice her follower count. For both, companionship and hot sex are incidental benefits. The relationship is fun but still fake and set to expire at the end of the season. But when AD is injured during a game, Chelsea begins to realize the depth of her feelings. This novel contains so much good queer, Black, nonbinary, and polyamorous representation. The secondary characters are funny, sweet, and multidimensional enough to hold the potential for several spin-off books. More importantly, this romance is nearly impossible to put down.”—Kirkus (STARRED)
