Boards & Betrayal (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798313296852)

She's forbidden, but I don't care. The only thing standing in my way now? My own son.

Tom

Winning Coach of the Year after winning the NCAA Championship should be the peak of my career. But when Ally steps into the room with her camera, looking at me like I'm still the only one who ever really saw her, it's all I can do to keep my cool.

Because she's not just any woman; she's my son's ex-girlfriend, the one Nick tried to keep on a leash for far too long. And if that boy knew a damn thing about respect, he'd know I don't give a damn what anyone thinks of this. Nick and I were broken long before Ally came into our lives, thanks to his mother's lies.

Ally knows what she's doing when she looks at me like that, and she knows I'm not the kind of man to hold back.

But there's something darker behind her eyes, a secret she's holding back-a secret Nick is using to control her. And if he tries to put her through hell one more time, he's going to learn exactly what it means to take something from me.

Ally

I was never supposed to fall for Tom.

He was off-limits, the kind of man a girl like me should never dream about. But Tom is nothing like his son. While Nick tried to control me, Tom made me feel safe-and wanted. And even now, after all the ways Nick has twisted and turned my life, Tom is the one I want.

But it's not that simple. Nick's threats still hang over me, every demand pushing me deeper into a corner, a cage he made for me just to keep me close. And now, the one thing he doesn't know-the thing that changes everything-is threatening to rip all of us apart.

Because if Tom finds out what I've been hiding, even he might not be able to forgive me.

Boards & Betrayal is a stand-alone forbidden dark hockey romance featuring a fierce, possessive hockey coach willing to fight anyone-family included-to protect the one woman who was never meant to be his, and a determined heroine who finds the courage to claim her own freedom, no matter the cost. It has a guaranteed HEA and no cliffhanger.
