Renee Heart is used to being overlooked.
She cleans stadium floors at night, blends smoothies at dawn, and squeezes in senior-level biology lectures in between. Her life is a grind, but she’s determined to finish her degree without loans—even if it means no sleep and no time for herself.
Adrian Cole can’t stop missing.
The rookie UBA star was drafted for his deadly three-point shot, but under the lights, nothing falls. Then a late-night run-in with Renee changes everything. Her sharp mouth humbles him, her strength inspires him, and her heart steadies him in ways no one else ever has.
What starts with banter in a gym turns into stolen moments, a kiss in the parking lot, and a fire neither of them expected. But Renee’s reality is bigger than romance—she’s grinding through school, drowning in tuition bills, and working shifts just to stay afloat.
Adrian has the spotlight, the platform, and the power to give her a different kind of life. But if she lets him in, will Renee lose the independence she’s fought so hard to protect—or find out that love is the one thing she doesn’t have to do alone?
Courtside Adrian and Renee is a fast-paced instalove romance with heart, heat, and the signature softness of a Nina High short romance.
