Ball’s In Your Court by Nina High

Lily Sage walked away from Javonte Kind even though she still loved him.

She left because he stopped listening.
When one of the team wives made her feel small, Lily told Javonte it bothered her, and he brushed it off. To him, it was nothing. To Lily, it was everything. So she did the one thing no one expected: she left the Dallas Vipers rising star behind and kept it moving.

Over a year later, Lily is doing just fine on her own until Javonte pops up at one of her events. Then another. And another. He keeps showing up. He keeps applying pressure. He keeps trying to make it right.

Javonte knows he messed up. What he doesn’t know is whether Lily will ever give him another chance. But he’s not backing off this time because when it comes to Lily, Javonte Kind is done pretending he can live without her.

He’s ready to prove it because when the ball’s in his court, Javonte Kind doesn’t miss.
