Hoops
Unforgettable love stories set in the explosive world of the NBA.
1. LONG SHOT by Kennedy Ryan
SYNOPSIS
Think you know what itβs like being a ballerβs girl? You donβt.
My fairy tale is upside down. A happily never after.
I kissed the prince and he turned into a fraud. I was a fool, and his loveβfoolβs gold.
Now thereβs a new player in the game, August West. One of the NBAβs brightest stars. Fine. Forbidden.
He wants me. I want him. But my past, my fraudulent prince, just wonβt let me go
2. BLOCK SHOT by Kennedy Ryan
SYNOPSIS
Jared
If I had a dollar for every time Banner Morales made my heart skip a beat... The heart everyone assumes is frozen over.
Her anger is... arousing. Every glare from those fire-spitting eyes, every time she grits her teeth, gets me... well, you know.
If I had a dollar for every time sheβs put me in my place, Iβd be an even richer man.
Iβm a successful sports agent because I assume βnoβ means youβll think about it. Iβm sure what you meant to say is βComing right upβ.
They say even rich men donβt always get what they want, but those men donβt know how to play the game. The trick is to keep them guessing. Take Banner. She assumes sheβs winning, but this game? She doesnβt even know how to play.
Banner
If I had a dollar for every time Jared Foster broke my heart, Iβd have exactly one dollar. One night. One epic fail. One dollar... and Iβm out.
Iβve moved on. Iβve found success in a field ruled by men. Anything they can do, I have done better. They can keep the field while I call the shots, blocking them when I have to. And Jared has the nerve to think he gets a second chance?
Boy, please. Go sit down. Have several seats.
Iβll just be over here ignoring the man carved from my fantasies with a lust-tipped chisel. Oh, I didnβt say the struggle wasnβt real. But Iβve got that one dollar, and Jared wonβt have me.

3. HOOK SHOT by Kennedy Ryan
SYNOPSIS
Kenan
Divorced. Single dad. Traded to a losing squad. Cheated on, betrayed, exposed. My perfect life blew up in my face and Iβm still picking up the pieces.
The last thing I need is her. A wildflower. A storm. A woman I canβt resist. Lotus DuPree is a kick to my gut and a wrench in my plans
from the moment our eyes meet.
I promised myself I wouldnβt trust a woman again, but Iβve never wanted anyone the way I want Lo. Sheβs not the plan I made, but sheβs the risk I have to take.
Lotus
A warrior. A baller. The one they call Gladiator. Kenan Ross charged into my life smelling all good, looking even better, and snatching my breath from the moment we met. The last thing I need is him.
Iβm working on me. Facing my pain and conquering my demons. Iβve seen what trusting a man gets you. I. Donβt. Have. Time. For. This.
But he just keeps coming for me. Keeps knocking down my defenses and stealing my excuses one by one. He never gives up, and now... Iβm not sure I want him to.
