Stay Center

By Shannon J. Curtin

This is supposed to be 16-year-old Paige Race's year. Paige knows it, her best friend and teammate Savannah (Van) Raguzzi knows it, and even her coach thinks she'll earn the league title. But when transfer superstar Keith Nicholson beats out Van for a place on the team, Paige's plans are, well, shot to hell. And Keith? He just happens to be the same arrogant and annoyingly attractive shooter who beat her last year (and was a giant ass about it).

All Paige wants is to beat Keith for the league championship and keep her friendship with Van as strong as ever, but with Van off the team and in the arms of a sketchy new boyfriend, their once effortless friendship becomes strained. With the pressure mounting, Paige's dream of competing at the collegiate level becomes a real possibility and a scholarship for the league champion adds even more ferocity to the competition. The more time Paige spends at the range with Keith, the less time she has for Van (not that she notices). Worst of all, the more time she spends with her former rival, the less loathsome she finds him.

When Van doesn't make it to the winter dance, Paige is forced to make a choice that could cost her the league championship title, her budding romance-even the friendship she's desperate to save.
