Four years of being inseparable. Four years of almost.
Harper Vance has been in love with her best friend since freshman year. She's never said a word. The steady opposite for Oregon Coast, she's the player everyone trusts and no one notices, except Sloane. Always Sloane. Harper has spent years braiding her hair before games, staying up for 3 AM conversations, being the calm to her storm.
Waiting, hoping, and saying nothing.
Sloane Nakamura doesn't do stillness. The fierce libero is pure energy that's always moving, performing, never slowing down long enough to examine what's right in front of her. Harper is her person. Her constant. The one thing she can't imagine losing.
Then senior year arrives, and the countdown of "last times" makes silence impossible.
When Harper finally speaks the truth she's held, Sloane's instinct is to run. Because if she stops moving, she'll have to face feelings that terrify her. Feelings that could ruin the most important relationship of her life or transform it into something even more.
The conference tournament is coming. Graduation is coming. And Sloane has to decide to keep running from the one person who makes her want to stay, or finally dig deep and choose the love that's been right beside her all along.
A sapphic sports romance featuring friends to lovers, everyone-sees-it-but-them, explicit heat, and a guaranteed HEA. Book 3 of the Love Above the Net series.
