Beyond the Arc - Monet Simone

Malik Latimer is the reigning MVP of the NBA, disciplined, dominant, and emotionally controlled. After a painful betrayal early in his career, he swore off love, keeping relationships casual and his heart carefully guarded.

Indira James is an ambitious Detroit realtor determined to build an empire on her own terms. Focused on expanding her business, she has no time for distractions, especially not a celebrity athlete whose face is plastered across billboards.

When a chance meeting ignites undeniable chemistry, what begins as flirtation quickly deepens into something neither of them expected. But Malik's guarded heart and Indira's fear of abandonment threaten to unravel a connection that could be extraordinary.

Set against the resilient heartbeat of Detroit, Beyond the Arc is a steamy, emotionally layered sports romance about trust, ambition, and choosing love, even when the past insists you walk away.
