Sideline Rivals

I fought my way onto the boys' lacrosse team when I was sixteen, and learned how to survive high school under a microscope. Not much has changed all these years later now that I'm varsity's head coach at my old school. I'm still proving I belong, refusing to be quiet, and dealing with parents who think the job should've gone to a man.One specific man.My high school rival.And JV's new head coach.Landon Fletcher was the all-star golden boy who couldn't handle being outshined by a girl. I thought my days of sharing the field with him were over. But now, we're sharing more than glares and insults. The forced proximity of coaching on the sidelines together brings up old feelings, and a past we never healed from.The more time we spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore what's always been there.What's still there.And when I find myself at the center of a scandal that threatens my career and all I've worked for, I'm forced to lean on the man I never thought I could.Trusting my rival means throwing out the play book...And hoping he won't let me fall.
