Behind the Bench by Jillian Arly

Ellie Montgomery has worked her entire life for this moment—taking the ice not as a player, but as the assistant coach of the NHL’s Green Bay Bobcats.

She’ll finally be able to prove to everyone that she belongs in this world. A man’s world.

Lincoln Scott has fought through adversity and against all odds to become the youngest NHL head coach in history.

With much to prove, they are both ready to show the world they’ve earned their spots.

Only their dreams quickly turn into nightmares.

After Lincoln and Ellie discover they’ll be coaching together, old grudges surface and insults fly between these former childhood rivals, begging the question, Is the Bobcats’ season doomed?

Will their past dictate their future?

But heated words become heated thoughts, and Lincoln and Ellie quickly learn…

There’s a fine line between lust and hate.

Can these two keep the fire burning between them a secret? Or are they destined to burn each other to the ground?
