Part of Atlanta Cannons, book 2
First published 2026
Courtney Johnson should be celebrating. The Atlanta Cannons star just wrapped a winning basketball season. Instead, she feels like she's losing at home. Her wife Sasha is gorgeous and passionate, but their fights keep escalating. Sasha tells Courtney she's not doing enough, and the criticism wears her down. Sasha Adams-Johnson left her exotic dancing career to become a housewife. She didn't expect her wife to spend more time traveling than at home. Loneliness drives her to shopping sprees that strain their already fragile marriage. When Courtney breaks her arm and can't play in the European league, Sasha finally gets the time with her wife she's been craving. But having Courtney home might not be the solution she hoped for. Both women must learn to listen and function as teammates. Their marriage hangs in the balance, and they're competing for the most important victory of their lives.
