Alexandra Cadiz has been in love with Olivia Smythe for as long as she can remember.

Born into sporting royalty, her twin brother dominates the men’s tennis tour, her mother is a tennis legend, and her father an Olympic triathlete. Rising fast on the women’s circuit with her signature ice-queen focus, she looks untouchable to the world, yet she guards one secret tightly: everything began with a childhood crush on Olivia Smythe, the girl who first made her want to pick up a racquet in the first place.
Olivia Smythe is also a young rising star and ranked world No. 2 in women’s tennis; driven, disciplined, and unshakably focused. Every victory is her way of staying steady, every loss a reminder of what she’s sacrificed to stay on top. To her, feelings are a luxury she can’t afford, especially the kind that make her heart race faster than any match ever could.

When their paths cross, what begins as a professional encounter slowly turns into something that neither can define or deny. As Olivia chases the summit of her career and Alex begins to question whether her true path lies in triathlon instead of tennis, both women must face a choice: chase the lives they’ve been building, or risk everything for the love that could change everything.
