His Best Shot - J. Nichole

. .

Résumé :
She wasn't supposed to leave with him. But it was her last night in LA, and Julius Roy was looking at her like she was the only woman in the room. Imani Carter is a small-town teacher visiting her best friend - who just happens to be married to an LA Stars player. She's got three days left before she goes back to her classroom full of fifth graders, a teacher's salary, and a life that looks nothing like the one she's been watching her best friend live. Julius Roy is starting guard for the Houston Outlaws, in town after a win, and not the type to bring anyone back to his hotel room. Until Imani. One night. No strings. No numbers exchanged. She slipped out before he even woke up. The problem? Julius can't stop thinking about the woman who left before he could ask her name again. And Imani can't pretend one night with Julius Roy didn't rearrange something inside her. She went back to her small town. He went back to his season. Neither of them went back to normal. His Best Shot is a steamy, slow-burn fling romance about what happens when one night refuses to stay in its lane - and two people who never planned to fall end up doing exactly that....
