HAILEY FAMILY
Yasmeen Hailey has just moved back to Langston, her hometown, for a fresh start after a major setback. She's not looking for love but she wouldn't mind having a little fun.
Handsome restaurateur Larenzo Black is trying to put his womanizing ways behind him and focus on business. For him, women are trouble.
They're both running from their past and when they crash into each other, sparks fly. But Larenzo's best friend in the world happens to be Yasmeen's older brother, and every man knows that's a line you never cross.
Theoretically...
Basil Hailey is used to being adored. He's Langston's handsome, charismatic hometown hero; an ex-NFL player, current high school football coach, and the life of the party wherever he goes. He's also single, a status he's hoping to change soon. And it should be very easy for him.
Everybody loves him..
Everybody except Asia Montgomery.
She's known the Hailey family for a long time and she's had a crush on Basil since puberty. But now? She can't stand him and the feeling is hella mutual. Except...well, she's beautiful. Smart. A great mother. But for some reason, every time they're in the same place at the same time, he says or does something to piss her off. And unlike the groupies and fans he's used to, Asia isn't easily impressed. He can't seem to joke or charm his way into her heart--not that he's trying to. He really can't stand her either.
And he can't stop thinking about her.
