CHECKING THE COACH: A Forbidden Age Gap Enemies to Lovers MM Hockey Romance by Norah Preston
He's the coach I was sent to destroy. The man I can't stop wanting.

ADRIAN

I built my career on exposing the truth—no matter who it hurts.

My last investigation destroyed an innocent man. Now I'm one story away from losing everything. My redemption comes in the form of Luca disgraced Olympic hopeful turned volatile college hockey coach. Everyone says he's dangerous. Unstable. One bad day from ending his career for good.

My job? Get close. Find the dirt. Write the article that saves my reputation.

Simple.

Until I meet him.

Luca's not the monster they painted. He's guarded, brilliant, and protecting secrets that could ruin him. Secrets I'm supposed to expose. And when his equipment mysteriously fails during a game—when I watch him bleed on the ice—I realize someone's trying to kill him.

I should walk away. Keep my distance. Remember he's my subject, not my salvation.

Instead, I kiss him in an empty equipment room and damn us both.

LUCA

I don't trust anyone. Especially not journalists.

Adrian Cross walks into my arena with his recorder and his questions and his eyes that see straight through every wall I've built. He's here to destroy me. I know it. He knows it. The tension between us should be hatred.

It's not.

It's something worse. Something that makes me confess things I've never told anyone—about my injury, my brother, the dangerous men I've been paying off for eight years. Things he could use to bury me.

But when someone sabotages my gear, when corruption inside my own organization tries to end my career, Adrian makes a he quits his job, burns every bridge, and fights for me instead.

Now we're in this together. The investigation. The danger. This thing between us that started as friction and exploded into something I can't control.

He's the journalist who could ruin me.

He's also the only person I've ever loved.

And I'm terrified that choosing him means losing everything else.
