Slippery When Wet
(2025)(The second book in the Love Out of Bounds series)
A novel by Edwina Martin-Arnold
Rena
One thing I never want to do again is fall in love.
I gave it my best shot and everything went south.
So, I focus on what I have always loved, cooking.
I have two successful restaurants. That's enough.
I don't need or want love.
Rico
I had hoops dreams.
I wanted to rebound like Rodman, pass like Magic, and soar like Mike.
And I did! In the NBA. Until injury grounded me.
What I thought was game over, was just half-time.
Now, I’m coaching NBA players to the Championship Game.
They call me The Brain because I have a photographic memory I use to crunch stats, data, and plays.
I believe I can develop the pieces and out think any opponent.
I see the court like a mastermind. But I never saw her coming.
Rena Green has me stumbling and traveling.
I accepted the challenge of coaching a start-up team, and there’s no time for women.
But one like Ms. Green doesn’t cross your path every day!
I’m up for the chase, but will she slow down long enough to be caught?
