1 She Drives Me Crazy Basketball player Scottie and cheer captain Irene strike a fake-dating deal after a car accident forces them to spend time together. Start here for the slow turn from sharp banter to trust, and a court where Scottie's ex is a real opponent. 0 2 Finding Her Edge Ice dancer Adriana and new partner Brayden play up their connection in public while she still has feelings for former partner Freddie. Choose it if you want ice-dance practice, a partnership under pressure, and the question of whether chemistry on the ice needs to carry into a skater's private life. 0 3 The Passing Playbook Spencer makes the soccer team after transferring schools and starts to fall for teammate Justice. A rule threatens his eligibility as a trans athlete, so deciding whether to stay in the lineup has consequences he never meant to share with the entire team. 0 4 You Don't Have a Shot Valentina and Leticia have a history as soccer rivals before a summer league makes them co-captains. Pick it if you want the route from rivalry to attraction to run through an actual team problem. They have to agree on how to lead even when they disagree on nearly everything else. 0 5 Home Field Advantage Amber wants to be cheer captain and Jack wants to quarterback a team that treats her as a teammate. Their romance costs them different things in the same school. Read it for two leads whose ambitions make how they act in front of the stands matter. 0 6 Playing for Keeps June wants to keep pitching in a baseball program that is already scrutinizing her. Getting close to young umpire Ivy means dealing with a conflict of interest on the field. Pick it when you want sports rules to put pressure on the relationship as directly as the competition does. 0 7 Icebreaker Mickey and Jaysen are teammates and rivals for the top NHL draft spot.

Pick it when you want a funny fake-dating setup in a town where his roster status makes keeping anything private feel improbable. 0 10 Furia Camila plays soccer in Rosario while hiding how far she wants to go, and longtime friend Diego has already made it to professional soccer abroad.
