“Who just stole my thunder across the
Hafton airwaves, you ask? Right now, right this very second, listeners, I have
Hafton’s one-and-only, the main man with the ball in hand, Blane Steele is in
the studio. Mark my words—he’ll not only steal the ball, but your lady’s heart
too. Watch out, gentlemen, the Stealer is in the house!”
— Sonny Be Knocking Boots, Hafton Radio
96.9
Coed antics.
Chaos.
Angst-ridden twists in fate.
Caterina is an intern. Sonny is her
shock-jock boss. And Blane is a good-hearted baller…except when he steps on the
court. Between on-air dares, an evil feminist professor, a straight-shooter of
a coach, and rumors from the league surrounding Steele, these three are
destined to screw it all up.
Rather than a love triangle, this is a
friends-to-lovers story where the disc jockey acts as the catalyst, and a
basketball player finds his life transformed when center court intersects with
love.
Excerpt #1
I started
walking toward the exit when I stopped and shouted, “What’s your name, my fair maiden?”
She turned,
bracing the door with her shoulder. Planting her hands on her hips, she cocked
one to the side.
“Do I look
like a fair maiden at the top of the tower?”
“It’s
Caterina.” She turned on her heel and started to enter the closet.
“It’s Blane.
Nice to meet you, Caterina,” I hollered over my shoulder.
“Actually,
everyone calls me Catie,” she yelled back.
Without
looking back, I shook my head. Semi-sweet, foul-mouthed Catie and Mr. Sonny
Fucking Boots.
What an odd
pair.
I didn’t
have time to get involved in whatever situation they had going. I had a
basketball season to get ready for, and apparently, a libido to keep in check.
Excerpt #2
“I’m not doing anything. I’m hanging
with a friend.”
Almost instantly, the spark winked
out in her eyes. “What?”
Most girls would have bitten their
tongue off rather than respond to the friend
comment, but not Cate.
She glared at me. “You’re making my
head hurt. You’re nice, and we’re friends. Then you wrap your arm around me,
hug me tight, chat about porn, and ask me out for a drink, which seems like
more than friends. And now we’re back to being friends again.”
“It’s complicated, like you said,
with Sonny and the radio station. I’ve never done this before, actually liked
someone or been intrigued. Whatever this is.”
“Well, I guess there’s a first time
for everything.”
“It’s fucking just my luck, you
know,” I said, shaking my head sadly. “I meet someone like you when Sonny
throws down the gauntlet, and I can’t mess up because I’ve got Coach breathing
down my neck. Everyone’s watching me. It’s been all eyes on deck since last
season, when I decided to finish school before I go pro, and do what’s right. I
must be jinxed or some shit.”
“Exactly,” Cate said firmly. “I may
be all ‘I am woman, hear me roar,’ but I’m not about to trash your career over
a silly friendship. You do what you need to do.”
She stood on her tiptoes, grabbed my
shoulders, and placed a quick kiss on my cheek. “Take care of yourself, Blane.
See you around. Thanks for walking me.”
