Coach

He’s spent his life protecting the people he loves. She’s made a career of fighting for kids who need someone in their corner. Now she’s asking him to do the one thing he’s never learned how to do—let someone else in.

At thirty-three, Colter Monahan has landed the opportunity he’s spent years working toward—leading Portland’s new hockey franchise. With everything to prove, he can’t afford distractions. Then a partnership with a local foster care nonprofit introduces him to Marisol Vega.

Marisol is warm, quick-witted, and entirely too good at coaxing laughs from the notoriously private coach. Drawn into her world of easy affection and family chaos, Colter finds something he’s never had and for once, he’s imagining a life that prioritizes his own happiness.

But the family he’s spent years feeling responsible for still has a hold on him. When the past intrudes, old obligations surface and threaten everything he’s beginning to want.

Marisol knows she wants that future with Colter. But if he can’t stop carrying everyone else’s burdens, he may lose the woman who’s shown him he doesn’t have to carry them alone.

Warm, sexy, and deeply emotional, Coach brings a driven hockey coach and a spirited child advocate together in a Portland Wildfire romance about family, forgiveness, and finding someone worth slowing down for.
