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 proposes they lean into it and see how far they can take their inside joke. The arrangement is meant to be easy and no strings attached but secretly, Maya hopes that getting close to Theo means she can get over her crush on her. And Theo hopes that by getting close to Maya, she can win Maya over and make her consider turning their fake fling into something real. 2026 IngramSpark® Editorial Selection - Romance
