El 7 de River Valley

Bastian Wolf is the Beast: cold, distant, and with a past that weighs more than any scoreboard. On the court, he's unstoppable; off it, a mystery shrouded in silence and rumors. Bee Holder prefers to stay out of the spotlight. Books, planners, and watching from the stands are enough to make her feel safe. Until she starts looking at the boy everyone avoids. Until she discovers that behind the number 7 jersey, there's more than just anger. As winter blankets Chicago in snow and the school lights go out at nightfall, they'll both learn that some games aren't played to win, but to survive. And that, sometimes, loving doesn't mean saving... but staying.
