Sometimes the most dangerous step is not making a mistake—it's allowing yourself to feel truly.
Admission to the University of Los Angeles opens the door for Emilia Sanders into a world of big ambitions, fierce competition, and loud victories.
She is the new captain of the cheerleading squad “Sparks.” Brave. Dazzling. Unbending.
But on campus, a different queen already reigns—Sidney Groupp, who has everything, including a boyfriend: the reserved, not very talkative captain of the football team, Damian Green. Their paths were not meant to cross, but fate intervenes.
Will Emilia be able to stay true to herself—and admit that her heart has already made its choice?
“Emilia and Damian’s romance is as tense and emotional as a touchdown in the final seconds of a match. Jealousy, ambition, and vulnerable pride tie the plot into a tight knot that can’t be untied without consequences. This is a story about how easy it is to become enemies—and how hard it is to admit that sometimes love hides behind hatred.” — Stacy Wood, writer
