I’ve never been the kind of woman who turns heads. Too tall, too broad-shouldered, and more comfortable in sneakers than stilettos. I’ve spent my entire life dodging comments about my looks—and my mother’s hopeless matchmaking attempts.
The one thing I am good at? Coaching Brightwater High’s girls’ soccer team. But budget cuts could ruin everything my girls and I have worked so hard for.
We need to outperform the boys this season, or my team will be dissolved and I’ll lose my job.
An easy task—if it weren’t for the boys’ coach: Evan Jacobs.
He’s infuriatingly cocky, impossibly handsome, and his smug grin drives me crazy. He jokes too much, never seems to take anything seriously—but for some reason, my heart skips a beat every time he’s near, even though I know a woman like me would never have a chance with a guy like him.
I have to beat Evan if I want to keep coaching, but the more time I spend around him, the more I see the cracks in his confidence—and if I’m not careful, I might lose more than just a game.
A medium spicy enemies-to-lovers small town romance with an HEA, set in Oregon. Book three of the Brightwater series, but can be read as a standalone.
