Coach Me by Mollie Goins

Retiring from the Boston Blues wasn't part of the game plan. But after ending last season as a newly single dad, it felt like the only move Dex Larsen had left.

Joining the coaching staff came with an unexpected perk: bringing his son, Miles, along to practices, games, and press events. It wasn't perfect, but with no support system beyond his team, Dex needed someone who could bring order to the chaos- a nanny and homeschool teacher who could actually keep up.

On paper, Lucie Anderson was exactly what Dex was looking for. She was overqualified, comfortable with the demands of a pro baseball schedule, and in need of a job. The catch? She's the sister of one of his players... and the same woman who caught his attention in a coffee shop just days ago.

Lucie's looking for a fresh start, and this job offered exactly that. Being a part of Dex's team isn't exactly what she expected but baseball has always been a team sport for a reason.

Lucie's the teammate Dex wants, but isn't entirely convinced he deserves. As the season heats up, so does everything between them. Hiring Lucie should have taken the idea of her off the table, but her light is becoming too hard to ignore.
