When your team’s future is on the line, falling for a teammate is the riskiest play of all.

Amelia Preston, captain of her women’s basketball team in their debut professional season, carries both the team and her own impossible standards on her shoulders. Add a high-pressure career and overbearing parents, and she can’t afford to lose control – especially not to Keira Morgan. She could never jeopardise team dynamics by dating a teammate. Her anxiety wouldn’t take it. But with every incendiary contact on court, every little smirk, and rising changing room tension, Amelia finds it harder to keep putting the team above her heart.

Keira Morgan returns to the UK with a singular focus: do whatever it takes to help her dad beat cancer. Her new job as a semi-professional basketball player keeps the lights on, but her probationary contract leaves her in a precarious position. One false step could land her on the bench, or worse. She can’t risk distractions throwing her off her game. However, after some late-night lifts home, interesting room assignments, and a Christmastime Ferris wheel ride, the team captain becomes the biggest distraction of them all.

With the season unravelling, pressure from sponsors mount, and cracks begin to show. Amelia and Keira realise they’ve been playing with fire. They know some things are worth the burn, but their desire could burn it all to the ground.

Full Court Crush is a contemporary sapphic friends-to-lovers sports romance filled with the highs and lows of professional sport, found family, and what it means to stand up for yourself and go after what you want.
