About this book
When a scandal-scarred basketball star nicknamed "Gladiator" crashes into the life of a fiercely independent woman rebuilding herself from the ground up, neither of them is looking for what the other offers—but their chemistry is impossible to ignore. Kenan is learning to trust again after betrayal shattered his perfect life, while Lotus is determined to heal on her own terms, convinced that men only bring heartbreak. What unfolds is a tender, passionate romance where two wounded souls discover that sometimes the greatest risk is opening your heart to someone who refuses to give up on you. Kennedy Ryan delivers an emotionally rich love story about second chances, vulnerability, and finding your person in the most unexpected places.
