A Contemporary Sports Romance by Jasmine Smith
Maya Bennett has one rule when it comes to basketball players: talent does not excuse bad behavior.
So when she is assigned to manage Jace Calloway—the three-time league champion known for his incredible skills, stubborn attitude, and constant battles with the media—she expects a challenge. What she does not expect is the man behind the headlines.
Jace Calloway has spent years being judged by what people see on the court: the superstar athlete, the confident competitor, the player everyone loves to criticize. But beneath the fame and pressure is a man carrying secrets, regrets, and a longing for the life he left behind.
Forced to work together, Maya and Jace quickly discover that first impressions are not always the truth. Between late arrivals, unexpected laughter, small-town memories, and moments that reveal who they really are, the lines between professional responsibility and something deeper begin to blur.
But when old secrets resurface and the past threatens to change everything, Maya must decide whether she can trust the man behind the legend—and whether Jace is willing to risk everything to prove he is more than the person the world believes him to be.
A heartfelt romance about second chances, hidden truths, healing, and finding love where you least expect it.
