Draw Control

A Rivals-to-Lovers, Forbidden College Lacrosse Romance

By: Dana Velle

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

By the end of the spring, one Grafton lacrosse program gets cut. Her job is to bury his.

Shea Donnelly counts everything — reps, seconds, the days left in the six-week “facilities review” that will decide whether the women’s team she captains survives. The man arguing the other side of the table is Cooper Lindgren: men’s captain, program golden boy, the other side of every scheduling fight her team has ever lost.

So why does a bagel keep showing up at her spot, cut in half, no note? Why is the equipment she could never reach suddenly on the shelf she can? Why has the door she used to fight every morning been quietly propped open for weeks — and why won’t he take credit for any of it?

Falling for the rival captain could hand the review to the men’s team and torch every promise Shea made to her locker room. But the deeper they dig into the numbers behind the review, the clearer it gets that the real enemy isn’t across the table — and exposing the truth could cost them both everything they’ve spent four years earning.

The review ends in six weeks. So does every excuse Shea has for hating Cooper Lindgren.
