Reina Vasquez doesn’t lose.
Not matches. Not control. Not herself.
Until she does.
A career-threatening injury forces her into the one place she’s never been comfortable: stillness. Recovery. Vulnerability.
Eli Mercer is the man responsible for putting her back together—but he’s not impressed by who she is on paper. He sees the data. The damage. The truth she won’t say out loud.
And he refuses to let her lie to herself.
What starts as a battle of discipline becomes something far more dangerous: trust. Proximity. Want.
But there are rules.
There are lines.
And some of them can’t be crossed without breaking everything.
As Reina fights her way back to the court, she’ll discover that the hardest part of recovery isn’t the injury—
It’s who she is without the game.
