Beneath the Stands

In "Beneath the Stands," bestselling author Emily McIntire explores a compelling second chance romance between Becca Sanger, the preacher's daughter, and her sister's best friend, Eli Carson, a once-promising basketball star whose career was derailed by injury. When Becca becomes the new team manager at Florida Coast University, their animosity quickly ignites into a passionate affair, only to be torn apart by unforeseen circumstances. Years later, Becca finds herself planning Eli's wedding while grappling with lingering feelings, setting the stage for a tumultuous reunion that blurs the lines between love and hate. This engaging tale is part of the interconnected Sugarlake series, and while it can stand alone, readers are encouraged to begin with "Beneath the Stars."
