About the Book
"A grieving widow is caught off guard by her attraction to an NBA star. Ever since her husband died seven months ago, entrepreneur Davina Klein-Roberts has devoted herself to running her beauty business, hoping to manage her crushing sadness. But when she makes an endorsement deal with Deke Bishop--a cocky and successful basketball player--he shocks her out of her depression. Deke works hard on the court and likes to enjoy the fruits of his stardom off it, but he's never been with someone who has Davina's combination of work ethic, beauty, and overall goodness. Even when she warns him that she's not looking for anything other than friendship, he can't stop himself from asking for more. Both Davina and Deke have difficult childhood memories--parental neglect, domestic violence, even a sibling's suicide--so their ability to trust is limited and their road to happily-ever-after far from easy. They start a friends-with-benefits arrangement, but it's clear that neither will be able to separate their bodies from their hearts--Book Synopsis
From New York Times bestselling author Shanora Williams comes an emotional page-turner about two people still reeling from tragedy who look to each other for the strength to move forward.
It's been months since her dreams of forever were brutally shattered. Seven long months since her husband and soulmate, Lew, died in her arms, leaving her to carry on. Alone. And Davina Klein-Roberts still isn't sure how to move forward.
To escape her anguish, Davina throws everything into work, pushing Golden Oil Co., her self-built skin care line, to become a viral success. Now she's poised to clinch a major endorsement deal too. But it's bittersweet without Lew by her side.
A meeting with Deke Bishop, the hot NBA star she's courting for her brand, leaves Davina flustered. With his dimpled smile and warm handshake, Deke's a natural pitchman. And he's clearly interested--not only in her lotions.
Davina soon discovers that Deke's more than just another player and carries his own pain. But as her feelings for him grow, so does her guilt. Will the pain of a future already lost keep her from embracing hope for a new one?
Review Quotes
"Williams shows herself to be deft at narrating...with fully fleshed-out characters whose anxieties and actions feel true to life. She alternates teary moments, which might evoke Emily Henry, with sizzling sex scenes and charming dates. A sports romance that captures the highs and lows of the game of love." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"An impressively well written, authentically original, emotional engaging read from cover to cover...Author Shanora Williams once again demonstrates her extraordinary talents as a storyteller." --Midwest Book Review
