Single mom and sports agent Fran Elliott has learned not to trust hotshot athletes. After her ex-boyfriend's selfish antics left her picking up the pieces, the last thing she needs is playboy basketball star Kendrick Taylor on her client list.
Kendrick has more riding on his image than the public knows. As sole support for his young niece's medical needs and a family situation the media can never find out about, he can't afford to let the scandal surrounding his former agent derail everything he's worked to protect. When Fran proposes a plan to clean up his reputation, including fake dating someone who could reframe his playboy image, Kendrick realizes Fran has just as much to lose and is the perfect candidate.
As their fake relationship plays out in the public eye, their guards begin to come down. Kendrick's devotion to his family reveals a man nothing like the one Fran expected, and when her ex resurfaces, Kendrick steps up in all the right ways. Can they rebound from the past and shoot for a slam dunk in love?
Perfect for fans of Pepper Basham, Emma St. Clair, Courtney Walsh, and Melissa Ferguson, this sweet sports romance from Toni Shiloh is a story about faith, the family you'd do anything to protect, and the love you never saw coming.
