Adrian & Genevieve - Book I of the UCC Series
One night, my roommate dragged me to a party at the basketball's 'all-star team' house. A spilled drink and huge argument later, I have the team captain giving me a personalized nickname and longing for my phone number. Not how I planned for my sophomore year to go.
Genevieve 'Gigi' Laurence prospers through her freshman year at the notable University of Central Chicago, only to be met with an unruly sophomore year. Filled with parties, booze, and basketball, she's introduced to the team's captain and notorious womanizer, Adrian Castillo, causing her focus to shift. With the opportunity to secure an internship, she hopelessly tries to stay on track but with Adrian's eyes on her, it's less than possible. Unfortunately for her, she becomes intrigued by his hot-blooded, seductive, and asshole behavior. Finding herself in a compromised situation she needs to ask herself if she'll give in or stay on course.
Adrian Castillo is beginning his senior year of college with a serious relationship being the last thing on his mind as his life is under less than ideal circumstances. With the NBA draft coming up, playing in March Madness as three-time team captain, and worst of all dealing with his broken home issues, he's filled with stress and pressure from all sides of his life. But, when he meets Genevieve Laurence, he's captivated by her books, beauty, and gentle soul. The idea of a committed relationship soon purviews his mind and as the center of attention on campus, in the college league, and by the people around him, his rock-solid aura needs to remain solidified.
Josie Guerrero is focused on one thing: getting accepted into the prestigious art studies program within the Art School at the University of Southern Washington. With thirteen weeks to create her sophomore portfolio, she knows she can't afford any distractions, but when an ink-coated basketball player walks into her life, even she can't deny the cosmic ties pulling them together.
Micah Costa is just trying to get through his senior year at the University of Southern Washington unscathed. Although, after finding out about his estranged father's cancer diagnosis, his not-so-impressive projections in the NBA draft, and the stress of filling Tristan Beck's shoes as team captain of his three-time NCAA championship-winning basketball team, he's starting to crack under the pressure. Only, he can't drown his worries in liquor like he used to - instead, by a serendipitous twist of fate, it's a five-foot-one, ribbon-wearing art student with paint-spotted hands that begins to ease his mind.
