Iris DuPree meets August West in a sports bar during
her last semester of college. It's the conversation of a lifetime and sends
sparks flying in every direction. The connection is undeniable...but the timing
is all wrong. August is poised for the NBA draft, and Iris belongs to another
man―basketball's "golden boy" and August's long-time rival.
The two go their separate ways, but they often
recall that electric night and what could have been. While August has embarked
on his all-star life, studded with wealth and fame, Iris's perfect public
relationship has become a nightmare behind closed doors. A tarnished dream of
fool's gold.
When August re-enters her life, the world seems
briefly bright again, but Iris's darkest nights are not over yet. To survive,
she must build her own strength and trust that her bond with August can endure
after all this time.
Even when her fraudulent prince has vowed never to
let her go.
Read the warnings. There is on page SA with the Iris.
It is graphic and bad. This book starts slow for me but once it picks up it
moves and I loved the story. There are hard topics in the book, and they’re
handled well. Definitely one of my favorite reads so far this year.
