Hearts In The Paint: A Sports Romance of Passion, Rivalries, and Unbreakable Bonds

I knew college would be challenging, but I never expected to be balancing my future in law and falling for someone who was never supposed to be part of my plan.

David Choi-star basketball player, campus heartthrob, and, as luck would have it, the one person who can throw my carefully planned life completely off course.

Our paths first crossed in the noisy thrill of a basketball game, his intensity on the court catching my eye, and his quiet determination pulling me in. But David's world isn't just about sports; it's full of high stakes, family expectations, and rivalries that could tear us apart. Being with him means accepting the pressure of his demanding career and navigating rumors, jealous teammates, and a past relationship that refuses to stay in the past. And while I'm chasing my own dreams, a career in law where every decision counts, falling for David makes me question if I can handle both the courtroom and the chaos of his world.

With every game, every moment together, the stakes get higher. His family expects perfection, my own career demands my full attention, and the lurking presence of his rival Marcus threatens to unravel everything we've built. But despite the battles on the court and the tension off it, David makes me want to risk it all.

When faced with a choice between our dreams and our love, can we find a way to have both? Or will our ambitions force us to play it safe and walk away?
