The Coach's Silent Season

Embry Nakamura sits the bench. She doesn't mind — good keepers watch. But the extra hours with the coach's tablet teach her something benchwarmers aren't supposed to know: her team's losses aren't bad luck. They're transactions. Coach Voss is fixing matches, and the money goes somewhere worse. Embry can lose her scholarship, her family's rent, her season — or she can build a case with Bishop, the transfer who lost a team to the same ring and has nothing left to protect. When the coach benches her for good, Embry plays one more game with a microphone under her jersey. A pulse-pounding YA thriller with romance about the girl who stayed on the bench until it mattered.
