A Shot at Love by Natasha Sterling

Jenna

I’ve spent my whole life around basketball—on the court, in the stands, and in locker rooms where I was always just “Coach’s daughter.” One rule has been drilled into me since I was old enough to understand it: never date a professional athlete. I believed it, too—until Oliver. He’s my dad’s star player, the kind of guy I’ve spent years avoiding. Charming, confident, and way too good at making me forget every reason I should stay away. But I know how this story usually ends, and I refuse to be just another mistake. My dad would kill me if he found out—but the real problem? I’m not sure I want to walk away.

Oliver

Basketball is my life. It’s always been about the game, about pushing myself harder, about winning. Nothing else has mattered—not distractions, not relationships, not anything that could get in the way of the championship. Then I meet Jenna. She’s sharp, fierce, and plays like she’s got something to prove, and she’s also completely off-limits. Coach’s daughter, the one girl I have no business wanting. But from the second I lay eyes on her, it’s game over. I should stay away, but I can’t. And now? I don’t think I want to.
