The loves of her life are coaching little league basketball and managing the careers of her players, leaving no room for men. Coach hasn’t met an athlete she couldn’t handle and a deal she couldn’t close—until she meets Alex Parker, the NHL’s most notorious bad boy both on and off the ice. Alex is the best defenseman in the league, breaking records along with hearts.

Now that the lines are blurred and the passion between them is too strong to deny, Coach has to decide if Alex is worth making an exception to her rules. less
