Breakaway
Penny has spent her life under her father's roof and his rules — he is the college hockey coach, and she is still piecing herself back together after the incident that derailed her figure-skating career. Cooper Callahan is her father's star defenseman, NHL-bound if he can shake a slump and lock down the captaincy. Their secret, no-strings arrangement is meant to help Penny reclaim herself and keep Cooper's head in the game — but falling for each other was never part of the deal, and if the coach finds out, Cooper loses everything. The second novel in the Beyond the Play series.
This novel functions perfectly well as a standalone story. While it is the second installment in the Beyond the Play series and features minor cameos from the couple in the first book, the main romance is fully self-contained and does not require any prior reading.
The Beyond the Play series is structured around the romantic lives of the Callahan siblings. This specific entry shifts the focus to Cooper Callahan, a college hockey player, and his secret arrangement with the coach's daughter.
