As a sought-after soccer coach, I have a reputation for being strict, serious, and the best at whipping a team into shape. On my first day working at Crestview College, the captain of the women’s soccer team, Iris Reed, turns up late. I need to show the team that I won’t put up with any slack, so I hold her back to run drills until she learns her lesson. But Iris isn’t just another player. She’s in a league of her own. She gets under my skin, draws me in in a way nobody else ever has. From that first day, it’s clear to me. She’s not just a player I have to coach. She’s mine. We can’t stay away from each other, and she brings out a possessive side of me I didn’t even know existed. But will our relationship put my job and her dream of going pro when she graduates in danger?
