A novel by Jamila Jasper
Star Serbian rookie on the Syracuse Centurions hockey team, Marco Balasevic must marry an American.
Now.
Without a greencard, he loses his dream of playing professional hockey in America.
Regina Rose has no reason to live after a traumatic event and enormous medical debts to pay off.
When she stumbles onto a chance to get a green card for a 6’8’ Serbian stranger and earn the money she needs,
Regina jumps at the chance.
She isn’t normally attracted to tall, muscular, white athletes.
Sticking to the contract should be easy.
The first night of their arranged marriage, they instantly hate each other.
But there’s a strange spark too…
Regina doesn’t care about hockey and Marco never wanted to be married.
He only ever cared about the game until a tabloid exposé changes his mind.
When vicious blackmail against the controversial and very public interracial couple begins,
They have to make their visa marriage work or both risk losing everything.

Book #1 in the series is a spicy bwwm romance with some potentially dark & triggering themes. This is a book for grown folks only with NO cheating, a guaranteed HEA, and a curvy/"regular thick" relatable Black female lead. Expect a very obsessed alpha who enjoys open-minded bedroom activities and demands loyalty.
Genre: Romance
