Risk Averse

Book Two

My name is Javon Slatterly.
I play offensive line in the NFL.
Three years ago, I lost everything when Keisha walked in and caught me cheating.

No excuses. Just the truth—I made a series of selfish, reckless choices, and destroyed everything that mattered.
I lost my best friend, my home, and the future we were building together.

Now, for the first time in years, I’ve got a shot to earn her back.
I don’t know if she’ll ever forgive me.
But I’ll show her I’ve changed.

I’m not giving up.
Keisha is worth every risk.

My name is Keisha Carter.
I was with Javon for ten years—until I came home early and saw the truth for myself.

No need for explanations. Just betrayal, plain and sharp.
He shattered everything we built.

I’ve spent the last three years rebuilding my life.
I swore I’d never go back.
I’m not a woman who forgets what she’s worth.

Now, we’re standing face to face again.
He says he’s different.
That he still loves me.
That he’ll do anything to prove it.

And the scariest part is...
I want to believe him.


Ten years of love torn apart by thoughtless actions. Is the foundation of Javon and Keisha’s relationship worth the risk of a second chance? Can…the infamous “bro code” save them? Or…will they both be too Risk Averse?
