Ravaged — Naima Simone

From USA Today bestselling author Naima Simone comes an electrifying romance about a pro basketball player and a graphic novelist who can't seem to stay in the friend zone.

Miriam

It's no coincidence that my family's breakup service is called BURNED Inc. I know what it's like to be dumped. I've been there.

Long story short, I've got a rule when it comes to my love life: no athletes. As it happens, my best friend, Jordan, is a professional basketball player. He also has a delicious body and sexy tattoos.

But rules are rules.

Jordan

Miriam is my best friend. She's also the love of my life, the woman I've been dreaming about since we met. But she doesn't do athletes.

I get it. I really do. And I just want Miriam to be happy. Which is why I set her up with a teammate to help her find the man she deserves -- even though I can tell she's into me from that one hot-as-hell night we shared months ago. Still, rules are rules.

But here's the thing: I'm a competitor.

And sometimes you have to break the rules to win.
