21-year old Maya Fletcher is the best female hockey player at Harlow University, California. Her father is the university president. And her new coach is 28, brilliant, heartbreakingly handsome and completely off limits.Coach Nathan Garrison didn’t come to Harlow University to fall in love. He came to rebuild a struggling women’s hockey program and prove himself in his new head coaching role. What he didn’t anticipate was Maya, and he definitely didn’t anticipate that her father, the man who hired him, is also the man who could end his career with a single phone call.When Marcus, Maya’s ex, returns to campus with a vendetta and a carefully constructed version of events that paints him as the victim of their breakup, Maya finds herself isolated and disbelieved. The one person who sees through it is Coach Nathan. The one person she cannot be with romantically.Meanwhile, Sienna, the team’s second best player, wants everything that Maya has. She wants the starting position, the position of captain of the team, and the coach’s attention. And she is willing to use Marcus to get it.Nathan was falsely accused of an inappropriate relationship with a female athlete at his previous coaching position. He was cleared eventually but the damage was done. His reputation was destroyed, he lost his job and no program would touch him. Harlow University and President Fletcher gave him a second chance when nobody else would. This is why Nathan doesn't want anything to do with Maya, but he finds himself being drawn to her no matter what.Which means if anything even looks inappropriate between him and Maya, President Fletcher can fire him and finish what the false accusation started. And this time there will be no coming back for Nathan.The irony being that the very thing that was fabricated before is now actually happening.What starts as a professional boundary slowly becomes a love that neither Nathan nor Maya can coach themselves out of. But with her father watching, and Marcus and Sienna scheming, the ice between them is thinner than either of them wants to admit.
