Noah Briggs, Northridge’s fiery shooting guard, lives for proving people wrong. On the court, he’s reckless, scrappy, and hungry to crush every entitled team that looks down on him. Especially St. Clair College—and especially their golden boy point guard, Malik Stone.
Malik has the discipline, the control, the perfect record. He’s the star everyone praises, the calm face the cameras love. But when Noah collides with him on the court, discipline shatters. Every glare, every shove, every word feels like a spark he can’t put out.
The rivalry is public. The craving is private. And when steam turns to heat in the sauna, in locker rooms, in hotel hallways… the line between hate and hunger blurs until it’s ready to break.
But in a world where teammates, coaches, and cameras are always watching, giving in could ruin everything.
For Noah and Malik, obsession isn’t optional. It’s inevitable.
Crave Him is Book 3 in the Addiction series, an MM sports romance packed with forbidden heat, obsessive rivalry, slow-burn escalation, and a payoff that blurs the line between hate and need.
