Rosie Caldwell has always kept her head down—until one chance encounter puts her in the path of Xan Carter, the star of the basketball team with the kind of smile that makes it hard to breathe. He’s talented, magnetic, and completely off-limits—because he already has a girlfriend.
Sophia Blake isn’t just any girlfriend, either. She’s confident, beautiful, and fiercely protective of what’s hers. The last thing Rosie ever wanted was to get tangled up in their world, but every look, every word, every brush with Xan feels like fate daring her to take a chance.
As sparks fly on and off the court, Rosie finds herself caught between the safe choice of walking away and the dangerous thrill of playing for a love that might never be hers.
A story of rivalry, longing, and the courage to risk it all, Long Shot proves that sometimes the hardest games are the ones worth playing.
