Subject to change, but here's my working blurb for my next book, a YA sports romance coming out this year:

Shea Matthews needs one thing: a scholarship to Bainfield College, and a shot at photojournalism. But starting senior year at Edgeview is a mess—her phone’s checked like contraband, her cousin Paisley has it in for her, and the school’s social map is a minefield. When she bumps into Jake King—lacrosse star, rumor magnet, and textbook "no girls" rule follower—an accident splashes more than a sports drink; it upends assumptions and sets two stubborn people on collision course.

Tasked with covering sports for the school paper, Shea sees a story where others see headlines: a goalie who’s all focus on the field and a life tangled with pressure at home. Jake, meanwhile, is balancing a father’s expectations, his own professional dream, and the strange, growing need to protect a girl whose camera lens finds him in ways he never expected. When Paisley stokes problems, and family secrets spill, both their futures are threatened.

Shea must protect her shot at Bainfield; Jake must prove he won’t be derailed. Together they’ll learn whether love is the distraction or the anchor.
