Pages : 213
Book Description
From USA Today Bestselling Author K Webster comes a steamy, best-friends-to-lovers rockstar romance! I’m a god. A rock god that is. I have everything I could ever want. Money. Friends. Fame. More women than I know what to do with. But I don’t have her. I left my childhood best friend, June, and went on to pursue my dreams of making it big. And, though life has been good, I still miss and think about her all the time. Fate sees to it that I visit my old small town and get the chance to finally reconnect with her. June’s no longer the girl I remember. She’s all grown up and more beautiful than I could have imagined. But the light in her eyes is gone and the man she’s with is cruel to her. June deserves more than that douchebag. She deserves someone who can give her a happily ever after. Stupidly, I think that someone could be me. Our chemistry is off-the-charts. I’m falling hard for this girl and can’t seem to get enough of her. This journey from friends to lovers is what people like me write songs about. Hot. Intense. Soul fulfilling. Perfect in every way. I can’t stay and be the man she needs, though. My future is the band, the record label, and my loyal fans. I’m going to have to choose between the two things I care about most in this world—my life’s passion and the one I love. And I’m not sure I can make that choice without breaking my heart in two… Rock Country is a steamy, emotional rockstar romance between two childhood best friends. This is book one in the Vegas Aces trilogy. Book two is Rock Heart and book three is Rock Bottom. Each book follows a different band member.

They Better Call Me Sugar: My Journey from the Hood to the Hardwood
Author: Sugar Rodgers
Publisher: Akashic Books
ISBN: 1617759716
Category : Young Adult Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
In unflinchingly honest prose, Sugar Rodgers shares her inspiring story of overcoming tremendous odds to become an all-star in the WNBA. “An inherently compelling memoir . . . A simply fascinating and ultimately inspiring story.” —Midwest Book Review “Rodgers pulls no punches in this raw, emotional rags-to-riches memoir.” —Publishers Weekly Growing up in dire poverty in Suffolk, Virginia, Sugar (born Ta’Shauna) Rodgers never imagined that she would become an all-star player in the WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association). Both of her siblings were in and out of prison throughout much of her childhood and shootings in her neighborhood were commonplace. For Sugar this was just a fact of life. While academics wasn’t a high priority for Sugar and many of her friends, athletics always played a prominent role. She mastered her three-point shot on a net her brother put up just outside their home, eventually becoming so good that she could hustle local drug dealers out of money in one-on-one contests. With the love and support of her family and friends, Sugar’s performance on her high school basketball team led to her recruitment by the Georgetown Hoyas, and her eventual draft into the WNBA in 2013 by the Minnesota Lynx (who won the WNBA Finals in Sugar’s first year). The first of her family to attend college, Sugar speaks of her struggles both academically and as an athlete with raw honesty. Sugar’s road to a successful career as a professional basketball player is fraught with sadness and death—including her mother’s death when she’s fourteen, which leaves Sugar essentially homeless. Throughout it all, Sugar clings to basketball as a way to keep herself focused and sane. And now Sugar shares her story as a message of hope and inspiration for young girls and boys everywhere, but especially those growing up in economically challenging conditions. Never sugarcoating her life experiences, she delivers a powerful message of discipline, perseverance, and always believing in oneself.
