Coaches, and a Matchmaking King
USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn's acclaimed The Wedding Series continues with King Jozef of Bariavak's search for his long-missing granddaughter leading to Ashton, Wisconsin, and the athletic offices of Ashton University.
Book 6, Hoops
** RITA FINALIST **
Carolyn Trent's logically mapped journey to becoming the perfect professor of English was hijacked the day she became academic adviser to the Ashton University men's basketball team. The hijacker was C.J. Draper, the team's infuriating, irreverent and sexy new coach.
C.J. has never let adversity stop him - if he had he'd never have gotten this far. He's not about to start by letting Professor Trent derail him. If he chose to rattle her ivory tower it was just for the fun of seeing the fiery woman beneath the marble-cool exterior . . . wasn't it?
When logic clashes with ambition in the game of love, will anyone win?
Book 7, The Surprise Princess
A Princess? No Way. Katie is a perfectly ordinary young woman living a perfectly ordinary life in small-town Wisconsin ... isn't she?
The most interesting thing about her is that she works for the men's basketball office at Ashton University. If she considers the biggest perk of the job being around Brad Spencer that also makes her ordinary, because what woman wouldn't feel that way? So these people coming around saying she could be the long-lost granddaughter of the King of Bariavak have to be wrong ... don't they?
Brad once played on Ashton's basketball team during a very special season. Now he's an assistant coach to C.J. . . . with a real soft spot for Katie.
She stirs his protectiveness, his penchant for the underdog, and, possibly, certain other reactions he's not about to indulge. So he's going to do his damnedest to make sure Katie gets all that she deserves, including the crown that might be her right ... even though it means Her Royal Highness will never again look at a basketball coach from Wisconsin like he's the king of her heart.
Or could there be some royal matchmaking going on? Maybe with assists from a head coach and a professor?
