Title: Love in Extra Time
Life has never been easy for Moyosore Adeoye. She is a final-year biochemistry student at the University of Lagos who works at Lush Lounge to simply eke out a living. Keeping her going is the promise of a better tomorrow-along with her secret crush on Jason Briggs, Nigeria's golden boy and rising football sensation.
But when Jason appears at Lush Lounge one night, Moyo's fantasy implodes. He is no chiseled idol. Their first encounter is a disaster, marred by misconceptions and sparks. When she thinks that maybe things will finally go her way, Jason deals her a blow:
"Block me. I don't do distractions."
Dashed and humiliated, Moyo cannot help but ask herself-what is he afraid of? Why is he trying to keep her at bay?
As Jason's world collides with hers, secrets spill out, emotions rage, and second chances are cashed in. Will Moyo escape the existence she so desperately wants to leave behind? Will Jason realize some things are worth fighting for-especially in extra time?
A story of love, aspiration, heartache, and redemption, Love in Extra Time demonstrates that sometimes the unlikeliest of goals are the hardest to score.
