Nia Carter's first week as a PR assistant for the Atlanta Vipers was supposed to be simple: fix the team's image, keep players out of trouble, and definitely not fall for their biggest headache.
Enter Jace "J.R." Rowland - the league's most fine, most reckless, most trending-for-the-wrong-reasons NBA star.
He's drama.
He's trouble.
He's everything she promised herself she'd never touch.
Then one night changes everything.
Now Nia is juggling her job, her reputation, a jealous ex, a ruthless media... and a pregnancy she's desperate to keep quiet.
Jace wants to step up.
The team wants her gone.
The internet wants her dragged.
And the world can't stop watching.
On the court he's a star.
Off the court... he might just be her downfall.
Or her forever.

When three vicious men with troubled pasts become entangled in a vengeful web of lies and lust, sparks quickly turn into an all-consuming fire. *** To escape his abusive father's heavy hand, Jace Carter gets wasted and hooks up with strangers on weekends. While notorious for never sleeping with the same person twice, one incredible night with sexy mafia boss Renato "Ren" Merlo makes him reconsider this policy.

He is out for revenge against the Carters in a long-running feud between the two families and has the perfect plan; a plan to entangle Jace in a shady business deal designed to bring everything crashing down. While it may have started as mere revenge, Ren soon realizes there may be something between him and Jace beyond desire.
