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.All Rights Reserved
