Returning from an injury, pro basketball player Salem “The Silencer” Jones is ready to resume being the best defender in the league. A league that now has an openly gay player—and not just any player but Salem’s long-time, secret crush—Arnaz Cade. He soon discovers that defending his shot with Arnaz, suddenly one of the most sought-after bachelors, might be his biggest challenge yet.

Big challenges call for big plays, like shooting his shot at a nationally televised press conference.
Go big to get the guy, right?

When it comes to romantic love, it’s a hard pass for Arnaz. Since coming out as gay, his face and name are plastered everywhere. He plans to lie low, chase championship rings, and avoid anything deeper than a one-night stand. Except there’s a gorgeous baller hellbent on scoring a shot with him, slowly breaking down Arnaz’s defenses.

Will Arnaz surrender to love or retreat deeper into his demons?

Scoring the Player is book two in the MM sports romance Chasing Rings series. Each book ends with a happily ever after, can be read as a standalone, and features a new couple.","format",{"_30":113,"_45":114,"_115":116,"_117":56},"publisher","page_count",570,"duration","published_date","July 25, 2025","pub_date","July 25","isbn","asin","B0F75GK34P","hex_code","#151310","language","English","purchase_links",[],"playlist_links",[],"cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/5864i/24ce16e2-16af-4a6d-ad7b-6a60bd27d288/1788214246.jpg","thumb","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F5864i%2F24ce16e2-16af-4a6d-ad7b-6a60bd27d288%2F1788214246.jpg",3,"Kindle","type","digital","audio","order",{"_30":120,"_45":121,"_49":122,"_123":-5,"_124":-5,"_33":34,"_125":126,"_127":54},"f0f88b7b-ed40-4b81-97ae-2fce9958fe75","Kit Grey","878-kit-grey","biography","image","roles",[128],"in_catalog","author","1be65e0c-12f3-47ff-ae66-0014e7a7eb9c",5863,"4.75",14,[],[153],"Loving the Legend: MM Sports Romance","e6cbfb18-0026-4691-8d18-4cd0b159a939",{"_11":32,"_30":31,"_118":24},2024,"Jan 2024","2024-01-22","5974-loving-the-legend","

Since Pro basketball player Ty “Pretty Boy” Washington picked up a basketball, he’s only ever wanted one thing: to make it to the pro league and win championships. As the number one pick in the draft, he defies the odds in his rookie year by beating the record of one of the greatest players in the league, Sid “The Wonder Kid” King.

For years, Ty has looked forward to playing in the same league as Sid, the epitome of success. What he doesn’t expect is their intense chemistry or how Sid is the only person who can see that he’s barely hanging on.

At the top of his game, Sid is well on his way to becoming a legend. Voted the Sexiest Man Alive with a reputation as a ladies’ man, he seems to have it all. When he sees for the first time the undeniably talented rookie with soulful yet sad eyes, long-buried feelings surface.

Loving the Legend is book 1 in the MM sports romance Chasing Rings series. Each book ends with a HEA, can be read as a stand-alone, and features a new couple. Themes include two MCs from rival teams turned lovers, grief/trauma, hurt/comfort, hidden relationships, possessiveness, found family, and more. Both MCs are consenting adults.",{"_30":113,"_45":114,"_115":116,"_117":56},488,"January 22, 2024","January 22","B0CT393HLT","#100f0c",[],[],"https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/5863i/e6cbfb18-0026-4691-8d18-4cd0b159a939/1788214225.jpg","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F5863i%2Fe6cbfb18-0026-4691-8d18-4cd0b159a939%2F1788214225.jpg",{"_30":120,"_45":121,"_49":122,"_123":-5,"_124":-5,"_33":34,"_125":154,"_127":54},[128],{"_45":121,"_123":-5,"_49":122,"_30":120,"_158":58,"_159":56,"_160":-5,"_161":58,"_162":113,"_33":34,"_163":-5,"_164":56,"_165":166,"_124":-5,"_167":-5,"_168":169,"_41":170},"ogImageUrl","https://img-cdn.blackauthored.com/api/authors?description=Books+In+Order&title=Kit+Grey&token=811e1928d7bd0f4d7071e469cb60cee99a1273833aad35042639c8c0c2762781","catalogs_count","verified","account_id","universes_count","followers_count","website_url","indie","user_progress",{"_171":58,"_172":34,"_173":58},"date_of_birth","social_links",{},[],"read","total","percentage","isLoggedIn",["P",175],"result","seo",{"_11":185,"_186":187,"_13":188,"_189":190,"_51":191,"_192":193,"_194":195},"user","themePreference","light","storedTheme","gaId","G-Z1HVZ17GZ3","Blackauthored","titleTemplate","%s","Find your next Black authored read and connect with readers with the similar taste.","handle","@blackauthored","https://blackauthored.com","robots",{"_209":56,"_210":56},"jsonLd",{"_196":197,"_198":199,"_45":185,"_200":201,"_202":203,"_51":191},"@context","https://schema.org","@type","Organization","logo","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/images/og-image.png","sameAs",[204,205,206,207,208],"https://twitter.com/blackauthored","https://facebook.com/blackauthored","https://instagram.com/blackauthored","https://youtube.com/blackauthored","https://tiktok.com/@blackauthored","noIndex","noFollow"]
