Book Description
Being in love with the plug isn’t always easy, especially when that love is forbidden. Best friends, Purple and Breelynn, know that all too well. After secretly being in a relationship for the past two years with Em-kay, Purple’s brother, Breelynn has grown tired of only being able to claim him behind closed doors. She is ready to live their relationship out loud, mainly because she’s now carrying his seed. However, Em-kay isn’t ready to reveal their secret, and for good reason: he’s the reason their relationship is forbidden. Will Breelynn get her way, or will she remain Em-kay’s little secret? Purple has always followed Em-kay’s every rule, but turning 18 has her ready to break out of her shell and do grown woman things. With a little bit of liquid courage, she finds herself confessing her true feelings to Sas. Never seeing her as more than his annoying little sister, rude boy Sas quickly shuts her down. Loyalty is his middle name, and he just can’t see himself going against the code by going down that road with Purple and betraying his boy, Em-kay. There’s just one thing he’s not counting on: Purple isn’t the type to take no for an answer, and she’s not giving him up without a fight. Will Sas stick to his guns, or will Purple prove to be the kind of temptation he can’t resist? Secrets are only secrets if no one finds out about them. Will the crew be able to keep their secrets under wraps, or will emotions get the best of them, putting everyone’s truth on blast? In part one of this hood love tale, you’ll find out just how hard it is to love the plug.

Book Description
Triumphant wins, gut-wrenching losses, last-second shots, underdogs, competition, and loyalty—it’s fun to be a fan. But when a football player takes a hit to the head after yet another study has warned of the dangers of CTE, or when a team whose mascot was born in an era of racism and bigotry takes the field, or when a relief pitcher accused of domestic violence saves the game, how is one to cheer? Welcome to the club for sports fans who care too much. In Loving Sports When They Don’t Love You Back, acclaimed sports writers Jessica Luther and Kavitha A. Davidson tackle the most pressing issues in sports, why they matter, and how we can do better. For the authors, “sticking to sports” is not an option—not when our taxes are paying for the stadiums, and college athletes aren’t getting paid at all. But simply quitting a favorite team won’t change corrupt and deplorable practices, and the root causes of many of these problems are endemic in our wider society. An essential read for modern fans, Loving Sports When They Don’t Love You Back challenges the status quo and explores how we might begin to reconcile our conscience with our fandom.
