Synopses

Long Shot

Iris DuPree meets August West in a sports bar during her last semester of college, and their conversation sparks an immediate connection. But the timing is wrong: August is poised for the NBA draft, while Iris is tied to another man, basketball’s “golden boy” and August’s long-time rival. Though they go their separate ways, the memory of that night lingers as their lives move in very different directions.

August steps into an all-star life marked by wealth and fame, while Iris’s perfect public relationship becomes a nightmare behind closed doors, leaving her with a dream that no longer shines as it once did.

Block Shot

Jared Foster, a successful sports agent, cannot ignore the effect Banner Morales has on him, despite the reputation that his heart is “frozen over”. He reads her simmering anger and the way she puts him in his place as part of a dynamic he is determined to pursue. Jared is used to pushing past rejection, and he believes Banner is still considering him.

Banner remembers a single night with Jared as an epic failure and has no intention of giving him a second chance. She has built her own success in a field ruled by men like him, learning when to call the shots and when to block them.

Hook Shot

Kenan Ross is a single, divorced dad in the final years of his basketball career, and the life he thought was secure has fallen apart. Still picking up the pieces, he meets Lotus DuPree and finds his plans immediately challenged. He promised himself he would never trust a woman again, yet he cannot deny how strongly he wants Lo.
