Purpose

Sebastian Grant wants to be left alone. 

With concussion number six fogging up his brain, Seb's GM threatens to fire him if he doesn't take a leave of absence. The furlough isn't a threat. It's a way out of the league that has drained him for years. With diva players and outrageous hockey deals, Seb has lost his hunger for a game guilt won't let him live without.

Her one mistake changed everything.

High school counselor Garcia Bear lives to protect her students from the heartbreaking childhood she barely survived. Pouring every ounce of her soul into creating an after-school program, Garcia comes face to face with pro hockey coach Seb Grant. Sebastian is everything Garcia's fragile heart fears, yet his perceptive eyes dismantle her armor. But Garcia knows how men like him operate. As the grumpy coach forces his way into her life, she must decide if opening her heart is worth the risk of hoping he has one.
