Better yet, she's now a former rival basketball coach and the newest science teacher at his high school. He can't think of anyone better to fill the vacant assistant coach job. In fact, if he plays his cards right, she might end up his perfect match off the court, too. If she stops holding him at arm's length long enough to give him a chance. Coming off a year of bad decisions that not only broke her heart, but cost her a job, Ellie has good reason to swear off workplace romances. Her undeniable-and undeniably mutual-attraction to Trey is a serious threat to her resolve. Especially since Trey's too-easy capitulation to her boundaries stings just a little too much. Funny thing, though. When she sees Trey dancing with someone else, the edges of her vision turn decidedly green. And when another man tries to kiss Ellie, Trey sees red. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to fudge the rules. Just a little. After all, casual sex doesn't count. Right?
