The one girl he should stay away from is the only one who sees the truth behind the game.
Jace Warren is Havenbrook's star shortstop, the player everyone trusts when the pressure rises. With playoffs coming and scouts watching, he cannot afford distractions. He has spent his whole life chasing one goal, a future in baseball that could change everything for his family.
Nora Hale came back to Havenbrook for one reason: to film a behind-the-scenes documentary about the baseball team and prove she is more than Coach Hale's daughter. She needs the project to stand on its own. She needs to stay professional. And she definitely needs to keep her distance from Jace.
But Jace is not just the team's best player. He is guarded, intense, and carrying more pressure than anyone realizes. When Nora catches him alone after practice, the story between them becomes more personal than either of them expected.
A secret kiss after a tense playoff game changes everything.
Now rumors are spreading, her father is watching, and Jace and Nora must decide whether protecting their futures means letting each other go, or finally choosing something real in front of everyone.
The Coach's Daughter Secret is a short sports romance about forbidden feelings, baseball pressure, secret moments, and two people learning that love does not have to cost them their dreams.
