The Coach's Ruined Girl

Nell Whitaker is the first woman to coach in this conference, and she has exactly one season to prove she belongs. Theo Rhee is her problem. He is the captain, a center with a ceiling higher than any player Aldergrove has recruited in a decade, and the son of the coach who still runs this program from a booster's box. He has spent three years trying to get himself thrown out. Nell is the first person who might actually do it. She benches him. He sabotages her. Neither of them backs down, and the whole conference is watching. What she doesn't know is why he wants out. What he doesn't know is what it will cost her to be the reason. When his father threatens her career, Theo has one move left: the truth, on the record, with his own name on it. A dark hockey bully romance with a coach heroine, a captain with a reckoning, and a slow burn that starts on the bench.
