Dear Reader, This is not your typical synopsis you normally read. In this section, you would see a short, overview of the book you may want to purchase. This time I’m speaking directly to you and warning you of this book. Most of my books have a lot of romance, sex, sometimes funny, and a lot of hot hockey players. This book is different. You see The Coach and the Secret is loosely based off a real man’s story. At first his story was so outrageous I almost didn’t believe it, but after seeing an abundance of evidence my heart broke for him and his daughter. This book has extreme adult topics and please keep in mind when you read this, you don’t know unless you’ve been in their situation. Thank you Mary Smith \\\All money will be given to the family of domestic violence\\\
