AVERY As the #1 WNBA draft pick, I expected to be embraced by sponsors and the media. Instead, I’m being told to act more ‘cheerful’ in front of the cameras, or it will cost me millions in endorsements. And I don’t want to use my father’s NBA legacy to be more popular either. Now I’m being offered an opportunity to change the narrative on my own terms - pretend to date the other rookie in town, Orlando’s new wide receiver, and create a fresh story for the public to obsess over. Can this football party boy really be the answer to my problems? RAWLEY All I wanted for my first year in the NFL was a fresh start. Yet, the sports pundits are fixated on my so-called character issues and I can’t shake my bad reputation. Then I meet her, this smoking hot, raven-haired goddess of basketball. By some miracle, weeks later our teams concoct a fake dating arrangement to help improve our media coverage. But that’s not enough for me. How can I convince her to give me a chance, for real? NEVER SAY NEVER is a steamy, 18+ romance and the third book in the Battles in Love series, which follows the Battle siblings across four interconnected standalones.
