Darius Jones (by Mary B. Morrison)

DARIUS JONES by Mary B. Morrison (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

“There’s not a dull moment in this shamelessly flamboyant romp that Morrison’s many fans are sure to devour.” (Publishers Weekly)

Darius Jones has it all: a star basketball career and a family he is crazy in love with. But one night, a tragic accident turns his life upside down. When a stalker groupie convinces a heartbroken Darius to escape his sorrows for just one night, he doesn’t realize just how far she’ll go to keep him for herself.
