Lovers & Friends

By Olivia Linden and Mel McKnight

v

A friendship this deep was never going to stay simple.

Joey and Shane have been best friends since freshman year at Florida A&M University. Through heartbreak, family drama, and career highs and lows, they've always been each other's safe space. They've also spent years pretending their chemistry means nothing.

Now, Joey is Shane's publicist, tasked with keeping his NBA image as polished as his game. Working together should be easy. Keeping their hands off each other is another story, especially when Shane wants more. Their careers are intertwined, their relationships are complicated, and the secret between them could blow both their worlds apart. Mixing business with pleasure was never supposed to get this messy.

Between the glamour of the entertainment industry and the pressure of professional sports, Joey and Shane have plenty to juggle. But when the friendship that has always been their foundation stands in the way of something deeper, they have to decide how much longer they can keep pretending. Because this is no longer about whether Joey and Shane want each other. It's about whether they're finally ready to risk it all.

Sexy, emotional, and infused with R&B vibes, Lovers & Friends is a friends-to-lovers romance filled with chemistry and a messy kind of love you won't want to put down.
