From award-winning author Kennedy Ryan comes the steamy, powerful second installment of the Hoops trilogy. If Jared Foster had a dollar for every time Banner Morales made his heart skip a beat-the heart everyone assumes is frozen over-he´d be richer than he already is. He´s found success as a sports agent by always assuming "no" means "I´ll think about it." And he knows Banner´s thinking about him. Her simmering anger? The way she puts him in his place? Foreplay. She thinks she´s won the game, but they´re just getting started. If Banner had a dollar for every time Jared broke her heart, she´d have exactly one dollar. One epic failure of a night. After parting on such bad terms, Banner has no intention of ever giving Jared a second chance. She´s found success in a field ruled by men like him. She´s learned to call the shots and block them when she has to. So she´ll ignore the way he makes her heart pound. Sure, he seems carved from her most private fantasies, but she can get past that. She´s got her one dollar, and Jared won´t have her.
