Playin' Hard

Readers of YA contemporary romance, sports romance, enemies-to-lovers stories, and those looking for Black love will be drawn to this title. It's perfect for fans of Talia Hibbert's Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute.

If there's one thing Cree Jacobs can't stand about Moorehead High, it's definitely the Ballers Club--an exclusive clique of boys who dominate the school's sports teams. The boys are arrogant, flashy, and just way too overrated for Cree's taste.

Don't tell that to DeAndre Parker, the unofficial leader of the group. Laidback, good looking, a prodigy on the court, and the son of a retired NBA champion, DA knows his potential and that almost everyone at Moorehead would do anything to get close to him--except for Cree Jacobs.

Typically these two would never cross paths or acknowledge each other, but one heated debate with Cree in class sets DeAndre off, igniting a need within him: no one can resist the Club. Determined to get Cree under his spell, DeAndre begins trying to change her opinion of him as the two strike a friendship that sparks into something more.
