An enemies-to-lovers second chance standalone romance set in the cutthroat world of sports management. They're two sharks in a fish tank... JAREDIf I had a dollar for every time Banner Morales made my heart skip a beat... The heart everyone assumes is frozen over. Her anger is . . . arousing. Every glare from those fire-spitting eyes, every time she grits her teeth, gets me . . .well, you know. If I had a dollar for every time she's put me in my place, I'd be an even richer man. I'm a successful sports agent because I assume "no" means you'll think about it. I'm sure what you meant to say is "Coming right up." They say even rich men don't always get what they want, but those men don't know how to play the game. The trick is to keep them guessing. Take Banner. She assumes she's winning, but this game? She doesn't even know how to play. BANNER If I had a dollar for every time Jared Foster broke my heart, I'd have exactly one dollar. One night. One epic fail. One dollar . . . and I'm out. I've moved on. I've found success in a field ruled by men. Anything they can do, I have done better. They can keep the field while I call the shots, blocking them when I have to. And Jared has the nerve to think he gets a second chance? Boy, please. Go sit down. Have several seats. I'll just be over here ignoring the man carved from my fantasies with a lust-tipped chisel. Oh, I didn't say the struggle wasn't real. But I've got that one dollar, and Jared won't have me.

"I really liked the premise of this book and I loved the idea of the main characters. Banner the smart female main character is close friends with Jared the male main character. They meet in college and grow close when studying together. They are both smart and talented and want to go far in life and with their careers. They have a falling out and meet years later as rivals, banner is still rightfully angry about what happened in college and Jared is determined to get her back no matter what. <br/><br/>Like I said I think this book is well written and I liked many aspects of it but I just couldn’t get over the emotional and physical cheating that was in this. Banner has a partner and Jared doesn't care and still ends up pursuing her. Cheating is just hard to get over for me especially when the person being cheated on hasn’t done anything wrong. I did like the plus size representation in this and I thought the fmc was very strong and brilliant. <br/><br/>I think if you’re okay with characters that are meant for each other but are flawed and make wrong choices then this is the book for you. This really brings scandal level drama into a basketball agent rivalry setting and I liked that part so much."
