LOVE AND SPORTSBALL Atlanta Cannons, Book 1

After a steamy one-night stand, athletic trainer Khadijah Upton and professional basketball player Shae Harris reunite unexpectedly as new colleagues on the Atlanta-based WNBA team, the Atlantic Cannons. Narrators Lauryn Nichols and Marcella Cox are a dynamic duo, alternating wonderful performances of spontaneous, open Shae and careful, regimented Khadijah. Their fun, flirty interactions off the court and workplace tensions amplify the romantic stakes during the team's championship run. This delightful sports romance also features Nichols's sultry performance of intimate scenes and Cox's irresistible portrayal of Khadijah's pregnant younger sister's "controlled chaos." The initially sizzling chemistry becomes a well-paced slow burn. Exasperated tones and whispered flirtations prevail as the women navigate their self-imposed personal and professional barriers.
