De: Nyx Monroe

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

From rivals on the court to lovers in New Orleans... some games are worth playing. 🏀💕

When the Miami Starlight visits New Orleans, sparks fly between two of professional women's basketball's biggest stars.

Evangeline "Eva" Boudreaux is the hometown hero—New Orleans Jazz's golden girl who carries the weight of an entire city's expectations on her shoulders. She's focused, driven, and definitely not looking for distractions.

Sophia Chen is Miami's ice-cold point guard with deadly precision and a reputation for getting under opponents' skin. She's calculated, ambitious, and always plays to win.

But when these two powerhouses collide on the court, the chemistry is undeniable.

What starts as an intense rivalry transforms into late-night phone calls, secret meetings, and stolen moments that threaten to change everything. Eva's never felt anything like the fire Sophia ignites in her. Sophia's never met anyone who challenges her both professionally and personally.

The problem? Falling for your rival has consequences.

Long-distance relationships are hard enough without adding media scrutiny, team loyalties, and career pressures to the mix. When their secret threatens to become front-page news, Eva and Sophia must decide: is love worth risking everything they've worked for?

What readers get:

• Enemies-to-lovers tension that sizzles from the first page
• Authentic professional women's basketball with realistic game action
• Steamy romance that balances heat with genuine emotional depth
• Diverse representation and authentic LGBTQ+ relationships
• New Orleans atmosphere you can practically taste
• A love story that proves some risks are worth taking

This is Book 1 in the interconnected Love & Basketball series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but you'll want to follow every couple's journey through this addictive world of professional basketball and unforgettable romance.

Fair warning: You might find yourself suddenly interested in women's basketball games and unable to stop swooning over these characters.

Basketball court shenanigans

Basketball rivals fall for each other, but can they make it work?

Sophia and Eva get a little touchy feely while playing basketball against each other. Two top players on opposite teams are catching a spark.

Mature content is not steamy but has a little spice. 🌶️🔥

The story itself would have been better if it wasn't for virtual voice narration.
