Hoops (Prequel to The Surprise Princess) Patricia Mclinn

Before Brad Spencer volunteers to be Katie's knight in THE SURPRISE PRINCESS, he played on a college basketball team that had a very special season.

The Coach and the Professor

Carolyn Trent's logically mapped journey to becoming the perfect professor of English was hijacked the day she became academic adviser to the Ashton University men's basketball team. The hijacker was C. J. Draper, the team's infuriating, irreverent and sexy new coach.

C. J. has never let adversity stop him -- if he had he'd never have gotten this far. He's not about to start by letting Professor Trent derail him. If he chose to rattle her ivory tower it was just for the fun of seeing the fiery woman beneath the marble-cool exterior . . . wasn't it?

When logic clashes with ambition in the game of love, will anyone win?
