Long Shot: A HOOPS Novel (The HOOPS Series) (The Hoops Series, 1)

Some love stories aren’t easy. Some aren’t neat or simple or wrapped up with a perfect bow. Long Shot is one of those stories. It follows Iris, a woman who dreams of a career in sports marketing but finds herself trapped in an abusive relationship. Then there’s August, the basketball star who crosses paths with her at the wrong time—but never truly lets go. Their connection is undeniable, but circumstances force them apart, and what unfolds is a journey of survival, strength, and a love that refuses to fade.

This book is heavy. Kennedy Ryan doesn’t sugarcoat anything, and Iris’s story is heartbreaking. But at its core, this isn’t just about pain—it’s about resilience, hope, and fighting for the happiness you deserve.
