Chloe didn’t come to LA looking for a man. She came to build something.
Working for one of the city’s most prestigious catering companies, she’s learned one rule above everything else — clients are off limits. No exceptions.
Then she walks into Chris Lawson’s kitchen.
NBA champion. Two-time All-Star. The kind of man who fills a room without trying — broad shoulders, that jaw, and a grin that makes Chloe grateful she has somewhere to be.
Except she keeps having somewhere to be. At his house. In his kitchen. Close enough to remind her exactly why the rule exists.
Chris has won championships, earned endorsements, and checked every box the league told him mattered. Finding a woman to settle down with wasn’t anywhere on his list — until Chloe walked in carrying his food delivery and looking completely unimpressed by him.
He’s not used to unimpressed.
Now the championship ring means a little less and convincing Chloe she wants him means everything. But she has a career she’s fought hard to build, a rule she can’t afford to break, and every reason to keep her guard up.
Chris Lawson has made impossible shots before.
This might be his hardest one yet.
His Missed Shot is a steamy forbidden romance and Book 2 in the LA Stars series.
