MANY thank yous to everyone who has already snagged a copy of The PreGame Ritual. For those of you who are still thinking about buying, here’s another sample to entice you. 🙂
I couldn’t believe what was happening but I knew it was real.
In no time at all, the bill was paid with our entrees in to-go boxes and we were dashing through the streets, trying to get to my apartment as soon as possible. Miles kept his hand on my leg the whole drive, using stoplights to tease me by skimming it up and down my thigh. Even that little gesture was enough to get me fired up, ready for whatever our night would turn into.
When we finally did make it to my apartment, Miles parked his car in the lot reserved for guests before we both hopped out and started running towards my apartment. He chased me all the way to the door with tickles and made me fumble my keys when he held me from behind and started kissing me on my neck.
“We’ll never make it in if you don’t quit.”
He didn’t stop his pursuit as he responded, “Hallway it is then.”
“Miles!”
“Alright, alright. Hurry up though, ma. My hands have a mind of their own,” he said, smacking my ass as I bent over to pick up my keys. I giggled, dropping them again on purpose. “Ava…quit playin’.”
“Anxious much?”
“Anxious is an understatement. Now open this damn door before I ram through it like a SWAT team.” I laughed him off, turning the lock over and opening the door. Since it was the weekend, I expected it to be empty. But low and behold, Avery was sitting right on the couch with the lamp on reading a magazine.
Buzz kill.
Ava knows that she’s the best girls basketball player in the country at the collegiate level.
She knows that she’s going straight the pros once her senior season comes to an end.
And she knows that finding a man is the least likely thing to happen while she’s chasing that dream.
That’s until she meets Miles.
A freshman phenom who has no idea what college life is like but is in for a red-headed surprise with a mean crossover.
Their chemistry is a given, but will age be more than just a number?
Or will the pregame ritual be enough to even the score?
So…one of the things that never gets old when it comes to being an author is release day. After spending however long with these characters on your mind, you finally get the chance to let them fly. And trust me, by release day, you are more than ready to get them out of your head and into the world.
This particular book is the first of a new sports-based college “series” I’m working on, so it was really fun to be able to get back in the college scene and add in something I love; sports.
So I hope you enjoy, share it with a friend, leave a review, and all that other good stuff. 🙂
(Sidenote: I worked really hard on this cover! lol)
teaser. TUESDAY!
(in my head that was in the Sister, Sister theme song voice lol)
ANYWAY, whenever this book comes out, hopefully by the end of the month, I’m gonna be so excited.
But for now, here’s a little teaser. 🙂

ava.
Get your shit together, Ava.
I cursed at myself for missing my third free throw in a row. Even though today was our off day, I found myself at the court working on my weakness; free throws. There was something about all eyes being on me, counting on me for that measly one point that could actually be a game-changer, that kept me nervous about shooting them. So nervous that last season I shot a weak ass 70% from the line.
I had to get better.
I took a deep breath and lined my feet up before taking a few dribbles and lifting the ball in the air. The ball was on my fingertips when I heard from afar, “There’s your problem.”
Initially the voice startled me until I turned around and saw who it was.
He was the real problem.
Ahh Sample Sunday.
We meet again.
I’m so excited to share a sample from my next release; The PreGame Ritual.

I was only a few steps out of the locker room when I heard someone call out to me. I turned around and found the kid heading my way, changed out of his basketball clothes to a casual t-shirt and jeans and carrying a duffle bag of his own. He did a little jog to catch up to me and I tried to show how unenthused I was to talk to him even though my heart had began to race after catching a whiff of his freshly showered scent.
“Can I help you?” He gave me a once-over and I rolled my eyes though I couldn’t deny the little hairs that suddenly wanted nothing to do with my skin.
“Actually you can. I was wondering if you could teach me that spin-move you used? That shit was lethal.” I knew the boys had stayed and watched most of practice but I hadn’t considered the fact that he could’ve been watching me.
I readjusted my bag on my shoulder as I said, “I’m sure you can find it on Youtube or something.”
“Damn superstar, you got it like that?”
