Free Position

Dani Ferreira is Grafton's eight-meter assassin. Highest shot volume, lowest assist number, and both of those are a choice. At selection camp and on every hash mark after, she would rather wear a miss she owns than hand off a goal she doesn't. Put eyes on her and she will bury it. The problem is what the eyes decide they're owed afterward.

Jonah Adler is Hargrove's flyer kid. Forty goals, a last name that lands with the people it was built for, and a ring he turns when the rest of him is still. He clocks her from the upper track before she knows she's being watched, names the choice in her assist number, and lands the read in the exact same place as love. Grafton and Hargrove have been clawing each other up the NAC standings since before either of them was born. They inherit the grudge like a stick they didn't ask to carry.

A dual-POV rivals college lacrosse romance about the shot only she takes, the man who saw the solitude in it, and learning what it costs to share the ball.
