Mina Romano knows how to win under pressure.
As one of Atlanta's brightest basketball stars, she has built her career on control: clean interviews, sharp jumpers, polished campaigns, and a public image sponsors can trust. But when a missed shot against Chicago turns into a heated rivalry with Callie Jackson, Mina's carefully managed life starts slipping out of formation.
Callie is everything Mina is not supposed to want. Bold. Masculine-presenting. Unbothered by cameras. Dangerous on defense. Even more dangerous when she smiles.
One private night after a bitter loss should have stayed a secret. Instead, a hallway photo, viral clips, and a rising playoff rivalry put Mina and Callie under a spotlight neither of them can outrun. As the world turns their chemistry into content, Mina is forced to confront the truth she has spent years avoiding: privacy is one thing, denial is another.
Callie refuses to be hidden. Mina refuses to let strangers name her before she can name herself. Between sold-out arenas, family pressure, sponsor fallout, and the terrifying softness of being truly seen, both women must decide what love costs when everybody has a camera.
Love & Other Contact Sports is a closed-door sapphic sports romance about rivalry, identity, fame, family, and choosing love in daylight.
