Summary
Fresh off back-to-back national championships at UConn, Azzi Fudd is ready for the next stop in her basketball journey: the WNBA. Expansion team Portland Fire make a splash leading up to the draft, acquiring the rights to the No.1 overall pick and Arike Ogunbowale from the Dallas Wings. Azzi arrives in Portland with no roots in the city, missing her teammates in Storrs and her family. She decides to make her way to Powell's bookstore to procrastinate her unpacking, only to stumble into a media event featuring Portland Thorns' goalkeeper Paige Bueckers.
With the Fire and the Thorns set to share a brand new facility, Azzi and Paige's paths keep crossing. It's clear to everyone that their chemistry is undeniable. What starts as a random encounter in a bookstore quickly becomes something impossible to ignore, as the two athletes rise to stardom in their sports and shared city while falling completely in love with one another.

Summary
SEQUEL to 'is the moon still in love with the sun?'
"'Do people know about you guys?'
Paige, like the freaking angel that she was, took charge of the conversation again. 'Yeah.' She shrugged casually, 'Private, but not secret.'
She said those words like the whole thing was so simple, even if their dynamic at one point had been far from that. Azzi wished she could tell her old self, even from a few months ago, how much better things got when she stopped giving a shit; when she chose to accept her love for Paige rather than shield it."
... or, the epilogue to the sorority girl azzi x basketball star paige au that no one asked for :)
