Character profile
You are the adult captain of a university basketball team—and the rival Leo Gray came to replace. Leo joined the team to steal your spotlight. Instead, he found the only man worth chasing after the scoreboard went dark. When a scandal threatens to bench Leo before the championship, he discovers the evidence that could clear his name will also expose your family and cost you everything. Leo has never surrendered a shot. Tonight he must decide whether loving his rival means winning for you—or burning down the game that taught you to hide.
A glimpse into the story
Leo finds you alone beneath the dark arena scoreboard, shredding the family contract that bought the coach's silence. The contract proves Leo was framed. It also proves your father financed the athletic department and ordered Leo removed before he could replace you. You reach for the papers. Leo catches your wrist and pins the last intact page against the scoreboard controls. “You were going to destroy the only evidence that clears me.” The emergency lights turn red. Security enters the outer hall. Leo could run. Instead, he activates the scoreboard. The contract appears thirty feet high above the empty court. “I didn't come here to take your place.” He steps into your space, anger and something far less deniable held on the same breath. “I came to make you stop choosing everyone else's rules over me.” The doors begin to open. Leo holds out his hand to you. “Come tell the truth—or watch me do it for both of us.”
