Glitz & Goals by Colleen Charles

Coaching is about control, but she’s the one thing I can’t tame…

Vivian Abbott shouldn’t even be on my radar. She’s my goalie coach’s daughter—brilliant, beautiful, and far too young for me. But no matter how many lines I tell myself not to cross, she’s there, tempting me to break every damn rule.
But now? Now she’s everywhere—on my rink, in my head, under my skin—and no matter how hard I try, I can’t shake her.
She’s convinced we’re too different, that the scars of my past make me wrong for her. But I see through her walls, and I know the truth: she’s scared. Scared of the raging fire between us, scared to trust me with her heart.
And me? I’m scared too. Scared that if I can’t convince her to take a chance on us, I’ll lose her forever.
This isn’t just a game to me. It’s everything. And I’ll do whatever it takes to prove that what we have is worth fighting for.
