As a curvy style influencer with half a million followers, I'm used to commanding attention. But Noel Turner-head coach of the Cleveland Crush and the most distractingly hot man I've ever met-won't even look at me.
At forty-seven, twice-divorced, and allergic to complications, he's made it clear: I'm off-limits. When I'm hired as the team's social media coordinator, his icy stare and clipped commands tell me everything I need to know. He thinks I'm a distraction. A liability. Someone who'll disrupt his carefully controlled world.
He's not wrong.
Because every time he brushes past me in the hallway, every time his jaw tightens when I'm laughing with his players, I want him more. I've built a career on confidence and knowing what I want-and I want him to lose that iron control. Just once.
When a travel mishap forces us to share a hotel room, the truth comes out: Noel has been fighting this pull between us just as hard as I have. One bed. One night. And suddenly every wall he's built comes crashing down.
Falling for him is one thing. Being the woman who costs him everything? That's another. When our secret gets out and he's forced to choose between his team and me, I'll discover if I'm worth the risk-or if I'm just another mistake he'll regret.
