JACE I didn't get here by accident. Rookie of the Year. Two-time Offensive Player of the Year. Two-time All-Star. Everything I've built has been for one thing: an NBA title. When I'm traded to a championship-ready superteam, it finally feels within reach-even if I walk into a locker room full of tension and resentment over losing their star. Then I meet Ava Phillips. She's the team's publisher, responsible for holding the franchise together in the media. I'm supposed to stay focused, but the more we're forced into each other's orbit, the more she becomes impossible to ignore. Somewhere between late nights, pressure, and lines we shouldn't cross, basketball stops being the only thing I care about. Then everything changes when Ava tells me she's pregnant. Now the season I've worked for my entire life is colliding with a future I never planned-and for the first time, I don't know what winning really means. ⸻ AVA I've built my career on controlling narratives for the New York Ballers-two championships, a winning culture, a perfect image. Then Jace Rhodes arrives. He's everything the league expects: talented, focused, untouchable. And everything the city doesn't want. I'm supposed to manage his reputation, not fall into it. But after one mistake that breaks every rule, I'm left hiding a secret that could destroy everything. I'm pregnant-and the father is no other than Jace Rhodes. Now I'm caught between my career, the franchise I built, and a man I was never supposed to want. And the hardest part isn't the media storm coming-it's what happens when Jace finds out.

What happens when two people who take care of everyone finally get taken care of? Zara Mitchel talks with her hands, laughs with her whole chest, and walks into a room like she owns the light. She has spent years being the dependable one, the oldest daughter, the problem-solver, the woman everyone calls when something goes wrong. Between building her career in New York's fashion industry and carrying the weight of her family's expectations, she doesn't have time for distractions, especially not a charming hockey player with observant eyes and a touch that makes her forget her own rules. Connor Whitfield prefers quiet to crowds and actions to words. As a professional hockey player, he's used to pressure, responsibility, and putting everyone else's needs before his own. Then Zara crashes into his life, all confidence, warmth, and sharp insight, and suddenly she's the only person he can't stop thinking about. They collide by accident and become something neither of them planned and both of them crave. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore what's growing between them. What begins as friendship turns into longing, stolen moments, and a connection neither of them expected; and in the soft glow of New York nights, control slips first... then clothes... then every rule they swore they'd keep. How long can two people who are already acting like they love each other pretend they don't? Disclaimer: I do not own any rights to the images used both on the cover and throughout the story.
