𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 ⸝⸝

Always known as her brother's little sister, she's spent her life quietly excelling in tennis while standing in the shadow of his fame, polished and well-mannered yet overlooked. When he transfers to a new school on a rugby scholarship, she's pulled along too, offered a last-minute spot in the prestigious tennis program-thrust into a world of privilege, pressure, and expectations she's unsure she belongs to. Everyone sees her as a sibling first and an athlete second, but she's determined to carve out her own name. Surrounded by his loud, rowdy teammates, one stands apart: number seven, quiet and intimidating, fiercely loyal, and off-limits in every way. Their paths cross in quiet hallways, on sideline benches, in moments neither of them dares to name, as he watches over her with a protective distance she both resents and aches for. He insists she deserves better, that loyalty to her brother means keeping his distance-but the more he pushes her away, the more determined she is to unravel him. And as secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, she finds herself no longer content to stand in anyone's shadow, ready instead to risk everything for something entirely her own.
