The Coach's Second Chance Thanksgiving

When I left Balsam Ridge for a career in Seattle, I thought I was chasing everything I’d ever wanted. But when Thanksgiving brought me back to the small town I’d left behind, I found myself tangled in a scheme with the one person I’d tried my hardest to forget—Noah Bennett, the town’s once-troubled “bad boy” turned local hero.

What started as a fake relationship to get our families off our backs quickly became something more, stirring up feelings I thought I’d buried. I never expected the boy who was off-limits to be the man who feels like home. But just when I started to believe we could be something real, our secret came crashing down, leaving me with two choices: go back to my safe but lonely life in Seattle or take the biggest risk of all and finally let myself belong.

Welcome to Balsam Ridge—a cozy small town where the fall colors are vibrant, the community is close-knit, and love can blossom when you least expect it. Here, everyone looks out for each other, and second chances are always just around the corner.

The Coach’s Second Chance Thanksgiving is a sweet and clean short romantic novella.
