Sports Series Book #5. This series is related by a sports theme, not by characters. NOTE: The characters of this book are living during the first year of the pandemic. Shay Amos chose Dunbar University because she wanted to play basketball at a smaller school and be the best player on the team. Her plan to make it to the WNBA seemed on track when her team was about to make it to the school’s first NCAA tournament. When the tournament is canceled due to COVID-19, Shay spirals and feels like her dream might never happen because of something out of her control. Layne Stoll liked basketball enough, but she went to Dunbar to get a scholarship to pay for school, with no dreams of becoming a professional athlete. When the pandemic hits, and the university goes on lockdown, Layne finally gets a chance to get to know Shay Amos, another senior on the team whom she’s had a crush on forever. Throughout all of the interruptions, the two women embark on one more year of school together in order to have a chance to take their team back to the tournament and give Shay the best chance at going pro, all while they fall in love.
