Book Description
Forbidden love is the sweetest. Stella plays by the rules, and she believes winners abide by a moral code. Following this code has made her captain of the university women’s volleyball team, a dedicated daughter, and a focused student. She’s a good girl, so good that by doing the right thing, she alienated her sister, Reina, four years ago. Frustrated by her nonexistent sex life, Stella accepts a dare that leads to a one-night stand with a seductive and intense stranger she meets at a bar. In the morning, she wakes up alone and hungry for the man who stirred up emotions and sensations she thought she would never experience. At the first volleyball practice of her senior year, she’s excited to meet her new coach—until she discovers it’s Ian, the sexy one-night stand. He demeans her in front of the team and makes it clear there is nothing between them. Except when they’re alone, when neither of them can hide their attraction. And if a confusing, secret relationship weren’t enough, Stella is confronted with the distrust of her teammates, the disapproval of her besties, and some very weird behavior from a guy she’d placed permanently in the friend zone. Some rules are meant to be broken. As Stella falls for her coach, she has to rethink her life choices. If it was so easy to report her sister’s wrongdoing a few years ago, why is she having such a hard time ending an affair that breaks all the rules? Being with Ian will cost her the respect of her family, her friends, and her teammates—not to mention her athletic scholarship—and it puts Ian’s career in jeopardy. Some risks are meant to be taken. Loving her coach is a game that has no winners. Some games are meant to be lost.
