The Assist (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798987995181)

Love doesn't play by the rules-especially in your 40s.

Conner Doreland, the determined Head Coach of UCC's Women's Soccer Program, is on the verge of a career-defining season when his world takes an unexpected turn. On dorm move-in day, he meets Carrie Vokler, the vibrant, ambitious mother of his star freshman striker. Sparks ignite instantly, setting the stage for a romance that defies expectations.

Carrie, a successful entrepreneur and widow, has spent the past three years rebuilding her life. Conner, younger yet equally driven, challenges her guarded heart in ways she never imagined. But their connection is complicated-by professional boundaries, family responsibilities, and the undeniable risks of a coach-parent relationship.

As they navigate the challenges of blending love and life, Conner and Carrie must decide if risking it all is worth the chance at a second shot at happiness.
