Defensive Stance

Kasha Thompson

Deion McCabe is a veteran basketball player with an adversarial disposition. Following an altercation with a fan during a game, the league orders him to attend anger management. Deion's behavior and subpar gameplay threatens to jeopardize his livelihood. He's courting disaster and must demonstrate to the organization that he's capable of turning his fate around. If not, he could face being traded or worse ... the end of his basketball career. Sloane Kaplan is a single mother and cocktail waitress who's known to pack a mean punch. She's earnestly trying to keep her life on the straight and narrow, but people around her seem to push the right buttons, igniting her short fuse. While she's always been taught to go down fighting, her latest brawl lands her in an anger management course. Unbeknownst to her, this mandatory class will introduce her to a towering basketball player with a grumpy temperament and captivating smile. Love is the only thing worth fighting for, even if that means not playing fair.
