Wesley Miller lives for soccer. As captain of the Boston Tempest, she thrives on discipline and control, balancing the pressure of supporting her family with chasing a national team call-up. Distractions have no place in her world until her coach issues an ultimatum: prove she has a life beyond the pitch or lose her hard-earned captaincy.
Nathan Wilder, the golden boy of the Boston Blades, is in the worst slump of his career. His contract is on the line, and his confidence is slipping. When he wins a charity auction for a training session with Wesley, he expects a simple workout. Instead, it's a brutal reset that reignites his edge on the ice.
Wesley needs a public relationship to protect her captaincy. Nathan needs more training sessions to save his season. The solution seems simple. Two months of fake dating, intense workouts, and a clean break before either of them gets distracted.
But chemistry like theirs doesn't follow the playbook. The workouts run longer. The touches linger. Every glance sparks something neither of them expected. And what started as a calculated strategy starts to feel dangerously real.
His career is on thin ice. Her dreams are finally within reach. And they're about to discover that the biggest plays of their lives might come with the assist.
With the Assist, a Boston Playmakers novel, is a steamy, high-stakes sports romance about ambition, passion, and discovering that even the strongest players sometimes need someone in their corner.
