{"product_id":"the-close-up-a-hollywood-renaissance-hoops-novella","title":"The Close-Up: A Hollywood Renaissance\/HOOPS Novella","description":"Set in the dynamic worlds of professional basketball and entertainment, two of Kennedy Ryan’s most critically-acclaimed series—HOOPs and Hollywood Renaissance—collide in this tale of forbidden romance.\n\nI met Nazareth Armstrong when I was eighteen years old. From the beginning, my brother warned me to stay away from him. Told Naz to stay away from me.\n\nOur hearts didn’t listen.\n\nI shared one magical night under the stars with my brother's rival, thinking it was the start of a once-in-a-lifetime something.\nBut one awful moment ended it all.\n\nYears later when we meet again, we’ve both pursued our dreams, lived a little, found success…but never found love. What began as a tiny flame when we were young now threatens to consume us. I’m more drawn to Naz than ever, but his complicated history with my brother makes whatever this could be…nearly impossible.\n\nBut Naz accepts impossible as a dare.\n\nThrough his clever maneuvering and dogged determination, I find myself on a yacht with him and his friends cruising through the Mediterranean. It’s a whirlwind set ablaze. Away from reality, surrendering to the tender heat of his touch, I forget that everything could burn.\n\n*This is the love story of Takira, who first appears in Reel, book 1 of the Hollywood Renaissance series. Characters from the HOOPS series also make appearances, but you do not have to read any of those books to enjoy this one.\n\n**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1951812743\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1951812743.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ryan, Kennedy\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
