The Right Move is a dual–first-person sports romance set in Chicago, where NBA star and newly appointed team captain Ryan Shay lives by discipline, routine, and emotional distance. His quiet life implodes when his twin sister convinces him to temporarily house her best friend, Indy Ivers, a vibrant flight attendant recovering from betrayal and rebuilding from scratch.
Living together sparks friction, unexpected tenderness, and an escalating “fake dating” scheme that begins as career optics but turns into something neither can control. As Indy faces grief, friendship fallout, and fertility fears, Ryan confronts the trauma that made him celibate and distrustful. Their romance grows through acts of care, hard conversations, and shared vulnerability—until they choose a future together that’s bigger than either of them planned.
