About the book

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In this steamy hockey romance, a single dad and hockey coach must mentor his biggest temptation—from the viral TikTok author of the Vancouver Storm series.

Former star player Tate Ward has become easily the best coach in professional hockey, leading the Vancouver Storm team to victory. Everyone is in love with the handsome, authoritative single dad—except Jordan Hathaway, the newest staff member on the Vancouver Storm team.

Jordan was more than comfortable behind her bar at the team’s favorite watering hole. When her father threatens to sell the team, though, she’s forced to put her grievances aside and work with the man who likes everyone but her—: Coach Tate Ward.

But beneath his controlled exterior, Tate is funny, encouraging, and protective. He moves her Jordan into his guest house, trusts her with his daughter, and fires the person who made her cry. He’s her boss, and a relationship would ruin both their careers, but Jordan still finds herself dreaming of a life with Tate. As the lines between them blur and Jordan encourages him to be selfish, Tate realizes what he wants . . . is her.

    Vancouver Storm-series 5 / 5 (Jordan and Tate)

    What a final 😍 I loved everything about this story and I'm really sad that the series is complete now. Jordan and Tate (or Coach Ward) had their story coming for a while now and it didn't disappoint. They don't like each other at all but have to find a way to save the Vancouver Storm - together. On their way they disvover that they misjudged each other and that they actually have many things in common. #colleaugestolovers #loveatworkplace #singledad #agegap

    Ein richtig süßes Buch, das Spaß gemacht hat zu lesen. Besonders cool fand ich, dass diesmal nicht der Spieler im Rampenlicht steht, sondern der Coach – auch die verdienen schließlich mal ihre große Love Story. Das Thema Co-Parenting wurde überraschend gut und angenehm umgesetzt, ohne unnötiges Drama. Stellenweise hat sich die Geschichte zwar ein bisschen gezogen, aber insgesamt ließ sie sich sehr flüssig lesen. Kurz gesagt: charmant, unterhaltsam und definitiv eine nette Auszeit für zwischendurch.

    Ich liebe Tate!!!

    Was ich mit am schönsten finde, ist das in diesem Buch eine gute Co-parenting Beziehung gezeigt wird. Oft ist das leider in Büchern anders. Ich liebe auch wie Tate, Jordan hilft ohne sie dabei klein zu machen. Er zeigt ihr den richtigen Weg und beschützt sie dabei. Ohne sie einzuschränken oder Ähnliches. Und Jordan ist einfach wunderbar! Wie sie sich nichts gefallen lässt und sich so weiter entwickelt! Es ist sehr schade das wir Vancouver Storm jetzt verlassen müssen!
