Romi Dulce is the undisputed Queen of hip hop. She has ended careers with a single verse. She tried it with Cam Wolfe too: right there on stage, eye contact and everything.

Cam didn't stay down. Romi hasn't decided how she feels about that yet.

The beef is real. The diss tracks are real. The way Romi's pulse does something she doesn't like every time Cam walks into a room is irrelevant. Not a thing. Definitely not something Cam needs to know about. Romi is handling it. She is handling it so well that she has thought about it every single day for weeks.

Cam Wolfe is not here for Romi's crown. She just wants her music and the validation she's been chasing since she was a teen listening to Romi's albums on repeat. She came into the industry swinging at her idol anyway. She told herself it was competition. She ran out of things to tell herself somewhere around the time they ended up alone in a room together and almost did something about a want neither of them can afford.

Their feud is good for headlines. Cam can't stop paying attention to Romi. Romi can't stop paying attention to Cam. They call it annoyance. A grudge. An unresolved problem. They tell themselves they're keeping score, staying vigilant, refusing to let things go. But most people don't take up that much space in your head. Most people don't make your pulse jump before they've even spoken. The pull is already there, running underneath every argument and every dirty look. Neither woman recognizes it for what it is. Yet.

Nola Young has worked hard to step outside of her superstar parents spotlight. Yes she may be genetically inclined to be a basketball star, but she’s made sure to prove her talent. She’d enjoy her time at the top more if it weren’t for her rival from college- Brittney Lee. Hot headed and constantly on Nola’s heels, the two can’t help but perpetuate the on court rivalry the media loves to play up.

Brittney Lee is having her best year yet. With her first championship ring on her finger and finally out the closet, and guilt free, she’s ready to change up her life. When she’s a free agent traded to the newly expanded Miami Waves, listening to her gut hasn’t backfired yet. But… why is Nola Young here too?

After unexpected career changes, Nola and Brittney find themselves, once rivals, now teammates. Back in close proximity, their college days and interconnected lives bubble to the surface with a chemistry they’re both in denial over. But are they honest enough to put their animosity to the side for their new team, especially when their feelings threaten to complicate things more?

Should she blow the whistle on her relationship?

Atlanta Cannons star Courtney Bradford should be soaring after a winning season. However, off the court, things are falling short. Courtney loves her gorgeous fiery wife, but the passion that brought them together is no longer enough and feelings of a lack of appreciation are taking a toll.

Sasha Adams-Bradford gave up her life as an exotic dancer to become a doting housewife. But she hadn’t expected the woman she loves would be on the road more than she’s home. Sasha’s loneliness turns into retail therapy, adding strain to their already tenuous marriage.

When an injury forces Courtney to sit out the European League, Sasha finally has the one thing she’s longed for. But is it a case of “be careful what you wish for”?

If they can learn to listen to each other and work as a team, the time together could be the rebound they need.

After all, they’re playing for the greatest prize there is…

Perfect for fans of:

Women's basketball
Second chance romances
Opposites attract
Emotional, spicy love stories
\nInsecure and Love and Basketball\n

One boy, his mother, and a captain with secrets from her crew. Amongst the stars, all things lost are found.

Marlowe Rose has been fighting her ex, Dominik, for a decade. When he kidnaps their son, she sneaks onto his starship, planning to give him hell. Instead, she ends up caught, sequestered and questioned by the captain. But Tanisira Sekmith isn’t what Marlowe thought she was, and when it becomes clear that they’re all just puppets in Dominik’s eyes, Marlowe convinces the stoic captain to help rescue her son.

Tanisira promised herself she’d make no waves, catch no one’s attention, and cruise under the radar. Misplacing her trust once changed the trajectory of her whole life. After the fallout from her last job, flying a pleasure yacht is supposed to be boring and easy—exactly what she wants. But finding Marlowe on the ship changes everything. Marlowe sees her, shadows and all, and it forces Tanisira to face things she tried to leave behind.

Marlowe doesn’t expect to find, on this journey that she dreaded, something she’d given up. And Tanisira doesn’t know if she deserves happiness, but she doesn’t want to lose this: a kid with big, green eyes and his fierce, captivating mother.

Described as Becky Chambers meets Delilah Green Doesn't Care, Tethered is a Sapphic, soft science-fiction romance. There are content warnings in the front matter and at www.tjwilliams.uk
