If You Love Me

Two nights with her ruined me for all other women, but I never got the chance to make her mine.

I’m the pinnacle of control. I protect the net, my team, and my daughter.

It’s my final season and I can’t afford any distractions.

Except our new assistant coach just walked in.

And I would know her face anywhere.

She’s the one I dream about.

That weekend, I was just a man—not the legend, the dad, the mentor.

I didn’t care that I was a decade older.

For the first time in my life, I was ready to risk everything if it meant having her.

Until I woke up to an empty bed and no note.

Three years of wishing I knew how to find her, now she’s my new boss.

I can be patient.

But for her—I want to break all the rules.
