   Summary

   In honor of March Madness about to start and for all the basketball fans, a fluffy AU story about a small-town girl on a basketball scholarship to Gonzaga. Determined not to be a teen mom like her own mother, Rey's focus was on earning her degree and maintaining the basketball scholarship that eliminated the need for student loans. Then she met the tall, dark-haired player on the men's team. Is there room for romance between basketball and books? Can she trust a senior about to graduate and join the NBA not to break her heart?
