When Brynn aims for a goal, she makes it.<\/strong>

Now? Ember <\/em>is her goal.<\/strong>

\u201cI\u2019ll never forget the woman who offered an escape.\u201d<\/em>

Ember Donoghue, former high school soccer star, only needs three things to be content:

A place to live. Her little sister Cinder. Fantasies of her old coach, Brynn Morgan.<\/em>

When the current assistant coach is fired, Cinder announces that the position is open \u2013 and she can\u2019t think of anyone better for the job than Ember.

\u201cI\u2019ll never look at her the same way again.\u201d<\/em>

Yet recent divorcee Brynn is reluctant to hire her former student. She knows more than anyone that Ember is popular, likeable, and talented\u2026

She also knows that thinking about grown-up Ember puts her in an awkward position. Because heartbroken Brynn is dating again, and Ember is the stuff dreams are made of.

\u201cEverything will try to tear us apart.\u201d<\/em>

Inexperienced at love and untouched at 21, Ember throws herself into Brynn\u2019s world, even if it means going against her morally strict parents. And Brynn can\u2019t say no to the college student who makes her feel alive for the first time in twenty years.

Even though this could ruin Brynn\u2019s reputation. Even though this could ruin Ember\u2019s family.

They don\u2019t care. Ember needs Brynn. Brynn wants Ember. Together, they can score any goal.

Even if it means destroying the only security they\u2019ve ever known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
