The last thing she expected was him, Duke's very own king on campus seeming to see right through her spoilt, aloof exterior and is more than determined to worm his way into her damaged heart. For as long as he can remember all Devantay ever wanted was to be drafted into the NBA. Until he met her. She's a complete smoke show he can't seem to look away from, but distractions have never looked so good. She's a beautiful mess he knows damn well he shouldn't get involved with, and yet he finds himself too far gone far too soon anyway. But this one's different. He has to be. *** Content / Trigger Warning: (18+) This book contains strong sexual content and themes that could be triggering to some readers.
