Head Coach

Lia Riley returns to the Hellions with a sports romance pairing Tor Gunnar, the Denver team's stern Scandinavian head coach, who has led the squad to a championship, with Neve Angel, one of the city's leading sports journalists. Neve has built her career by pushing through a field dominated by men, and she refuses to yield ground to anyone, Tor included. Her cold, combative history with him is practically folklore around town.

Tor has little patience for reporters, whom he sees as either an annoyance or a threat to his focus. Neve is the one person who consistently gets under his skin. After he wins a bet against her that neither of them takes lightly, he proposes a clear-cut solution to their tension and asks her to join him as his date at a wedding out of town.

As rivals start to become something more, the question is whether they can keep their mounting attraction in check or whether they should finally stop holding back.
