What would you do if you read a book and the story seemed familiar? Kandi x Tamika

ho just read it

Murda got ops in every direction, and Taya gotta adjust to loving a man who might not come home one night. The streets talk fast. One day you're in love, next day you trending for all the wrong reasons.

They never expected to see each other again after that night. What happened in that room was supposed to stay there, a fleeting secret neither of them would speak of again. But fate has other plans. A month later, they come face to face in the last place either of them imagined. (ProfessorxStudent)

Amore never planned on falling for an athlete. She preferred words over wingspans, debates over defense, and editing audio over running drills. Her world was sound bites, soft lighting, and the occasional chaos of her two best friends shouting over each other in their podcast studio-slash-dorm room. Basketball? That was background noise. Something loud and hyped and distant. Still, here she was-heart skipping, voice stuck-because of one particular athlete with a stare so intense it could melt bones.

I knew what I was getting into but it doesn't matter now

Experience the intense world of the Women's Professional Basketball Association with Naaliq Goldhawk, a standout player whose name gets mentioned among legends. Over six years, the Miami Kelpies' forward has built a reputation as a future Hall-of-Famer. However, a tough breakup sends her last season into a tailspin, leading to a decline in her performance and raising questions about her mentality. Determined to prove herself again, Naaliq enters the new season, primed to win her third championship and silence her critics. But fate has a twist in store. Aziya Jacsaint, the former point guard for the Houston Supernovas, has been driven away from her team by her toxic ex-lover and teammate, Dom-who also happens to be Naaliq's rival. Executing a baffling move, Aziya signs a four-year contract with the Miami Kelpies, returning to her hometown and teaming up with her ex's enemy. Like the rest of the basketball world, Aziya's choice leaves Naaliq stunned. Wary of Aziya's association with Dom, Naaliq's skeptical about the Kelpies' newcomer. At first, Naaliq and Aziya, both competitors and natural leaders, find themselves at odds. They must collaborate to have a successful season and consistently defeat Dom and the Houston Supernovas. This riveting story of rivalry, romance, and redemption sets the stage for a dramatic season in which Naaliq and Aziya will either forge one of the most formidable duos in WPBA history or tarnish their legacies.
