Adrian & Genevieve - Book I of the UCC Series

One night, my roommate dragged me to a party at the basketball's 'all-star team' house. A spilled drink and huge argument later, I have the team captain giving me a personalized nickname and longing for my phone number. Not how I planned for my sophomore year to go.

Genevieve 'Gigi' Laurence prospers through her freshman year at the notable University of Central Chicago, only to be met with an unruly sophomore year. Filled with parties, booze, and basketball, she's introduced to the team's captain and notorious womanizer, Adrian Castillo, causing her focus to shift. With the opportunity to secure an internship, she hopelessly tries to stay on track but with Adrian's eyes on her, it's less than possible. Unfortunately for her, she becomes intrigued by his hot-blooded, seductive, and asshole behavior. Finding herself in a compromised situation she needs to ask herself if she'll give in or stay on course.

Adrian Castillo is beginning his senior year of college with a serious relationship being the last thing on his mind as his life is under less than ideal circumstances. With the NBA draft coming up, playing in March Madness as three-time team captain, and worst of all dealing with his broken home issues, he's filled with stress and pressure from all sides of his life. But, when he meets Genevieve Laurence, he's captivated by her books, beauty, and gentle soul. The idea of a committed relationship soon purviews his mind and as the center of attention on campus, in the college league, and by the people around him, his rock-solid aura needs to remain solidified.
