🏐✨What do you do when the one person who sees you… isn’t supposed to?✨🏐

Spencer Callahan wasn’t supposed to make it back to the court—not after the accident, not with a full leg prosthesis, and definitely not with half the country whispering about whether he’s more “inspiration porn” than athlete.

But he did it anyway.

Now he’s nineteen, mouthy, sharp-eyed, and fighting like hell to prove he belongs. Even if it means biting back the pain, the flashbacks, the way his body doesn’t quite move like it used to. Even if it means pretending he doesn’t see the way people look at his leg.

Or worse—pretending it doesn’t feel lonely out there.

And then there’s Tate Anderson.

He’s twenty-five. Stoic. Controlled. The team’s newest physiotherapist. And the only one who’s never once looked at Spencer like he’s fragile.

He’s also, unfortunately, deeply off-limits.

But that doesn’t stop Tate from noticing the limp Spencer tries to hide. The way his jaw clenches when he stands too fast. The nights he skips team dinner and disappears behind a locked bathroom door.

It definitely doesn’t stop him from caring.

And when one too many comments, one too-late-night, and one too-vulnerable moment sparks a shift between them, both of them have to choose:

Do they play it safe?

Or do they risk everything— team, career, and the last pieces of themselves— for a chance at something that feels like home?
