Coaching was never this difficult … until the rookie came along.I had no idea Amber Lakes would become a constant light in my miserable life.Her smile isn't supposed to warm my heart and the sight of her tears isn't

supposed to make me want to protect her.

We're not supposed to touch, let alone kiss. We definitely aren't supposed to exchange hidden stares while we're around each other. But I've fallen too hard for her, and despite how big the risks are, I can't seem to pull away from her now.

None of this was ever supposed to happen because she's my track student, and I'm her coach … and I could lose everything if we get caught.
