Instead of pressuring her for something more, he plays his position and continues to play the field.
When Bronx signs a professional basketball contract overseas, he and Yazmeen remain close. She pushes the idea of ever having a romantic relationship with him to the back of her mind because their friendship is much more important.

Madam President (Cutthroat Capitol Book 1) by Desiree Francies
A little over twenty years ago, four exceptional young Black women came together to form a plan…
The idea was to completely change the way political figures think. To exert control with intellectual prowess and strategy born of objective manipulation. To remove emotion and do whatever it took without remorse. But also without the white man’s influence. They figured that moral superiority was useless in a government built upon the backs of slaves and murder.
“Black Women have always been better. We’ve had to be in order to survive. To defeat a monster, we have to become a bigger one. So, maybe it’s time we stopped trying to be right, and just started trying to win, no matter what it takes…”
Each woman had a role:
Hacker/Investigator
Monetary Acquisitions
Political Strategist
And the face pretty enough to distract the general public with a perfect smile, while the real work was being done behind the scenes. The candidate, born a prodigy and ruthless weapon honed to manipulate and seduce.
But she needed a husband. A First Gentleman. And, under pure happenstance, Vaughn Harrison all but fell into her lap at the perfect time. However, while our candidate desired a ‘mutually beneficial arrangement’, Vaughn wanted to be her everything.
So, we have a bit of a dilemma, I’d say. But I’m sure marriage could fix all that, right?
No? Well, I’d beg to differ…
This is how The United States of America elected its first African American female President… how The Kelly Cousins stole one of the greatest countries in the world… and how Anita Kelly became Madam President Anita Harrison-Kelly.

Ten Things I Hate About Lovin’ You: An Enemies to Lovers Novella by K.L. Hall
I hate the way he makes me swoon.
And the way he strips me bare.
I hate the way his icy smile gleams.
It pisses me off when he stares.
I hate his big, cognac-brown eyes,
And the way he runs my mind.
I hate him so much it makes me sick,
That I think about him all the time.
I hate the way he talks his shit,
In the dark when we’re alone.
I hate it when he makes me blush,
Even worse when he makes me moan.
I hate it when no one’s around,
That it’s his name I call.
But mostly, I hate the way I crave him,
And how he makes me want to risk it all.

Where they’re long-stemmed roses, she’s a dandelion: an adorable bloom that’s actually a weed, born to float wherever the wind blows. In her bones, Ricki knows that somewhere, a different, more exciting life awaits her.
When regal nonagenarian, Ms. Della, invites her to rent the bottom floor of her Harlem brownstone, Ricki jumps at the chance for a fresh beginning. She leaves behind her family, wealth, and chaotic romantic decisions to realize her dream of opening a flower shop. And just beneath the surface of her new neighborhood, the music, stories and dazzling drama of the Harlem Renaissance still simmers.
One evening in February as the heady, curiously off-season scent of night-blooming jasmine fills the air, Ricki encounters a handsome, deeply mysterious stranger who knocks her world off balance in the most unexpected way.
Set against the backdrop of modern Harlem and Renaissance glamour, A Love Song for Ricki Wilde is a swoon-worthy love story of two passionate artists drawn to the magic, romance, and opportunity of New York, and whose lives are uniquely and irreversibly linked.
