Damian Cross and Serena Montclair had been at odds for as long as they could remember. Their mothers were close friends, and their houses were separated by just one wall. From childhood on, they were always placed in the same class. Damian Cross was a wild, untamable troublemaker on the basketball court, while Serena Montclair was a cool, elegant beauty admired by all.

What neither ever admitted was that, in every clash, the fire burning in their eyes was far more complicated than simple dislike. That day, another storm brewed on the basketball court.
