From award-winning author Kennedy Ryan comes the emotional final installment of the Hoops trilogy.

?She's not the plan he made, but she's the risk he has to take.

A single, divorced dad in the final years of his basketball career, Kenan Ross's perfect life has blown up in his face. He's still picking up the pieces when he meets Lotus DuPree. A wildflower. A storm. A kick to his gut and a wrench in his plans from the moment their eyes meet. He promised himself he'd never trust a woman again, but he's never wanted anyone the way he wants Lo.

At twenty-five, Lotus is finally living out her dream, becoming a force in New York's fashion scene. Focused on her future and not looking for love, she's seen where trusting a man leaves you. Kenan is the last thing she needs. But from the moment they meet, she's drawn in, even if he's eleven years her senior and her opposite in every way.

When Kenan moves to New York for the summer to be near his daughter, Lotus can no longer avoid the attraction that pulses between them--but she still won't let him in. Not after what she's been through. Except Kenan wants her so badly, he'll do anything to knock down her defenses.

He won't give up on her...and soon, she's no longer sure she wants him to.
