book 1 of A Barras Series Novel
Ally Bennett and Lucas Reid have spent their whole lives side-by-side from backyard pools in Brisbane to the green-and-black togs of the Brisbane Barracudas.
Everyone knows them as the duo who finish each other's passes, jokes, and game plans.
But when their final U17 season begins, something shifts.
Ally starts noticing the way Lucas looks at her across the pool...
Lucas can't ignore the way his chest tightens when another guy flirts with her...
And their teammates?

They're not just best friends.
They're in love.
Terrifying, heart-racing, can-barely-breathe love.
But taking the shot could change everything their friendship, their future, and their team.
Will they risk it all for the one person who's always been there? Or will they keep pretending it's "just friendship" while everyone else sees right through them?
