The Pocket

By Tess Hartley

He's the calm in the chaos. She's the one woman he can't read.

Imani Sharma keeps the football world running from behind the scenes - organized, unshakeable, and impossible to rattle. Until she meets Marcus Idris Wren, the league's most sought-after mental performance coach. Steady, brilliant, and infuriatingly observant, he sees through her defenses from the moment they collide.

When a high-profile scandal forces them into forced proximity - late night strategy sessions, cross-country travel, and one unforgettable weekend away - the line between professional and personal blurs fast.

In football, the pocket is the protected space where everything slows down, and the right play finally becomes clear.
With Marcus, Imani finds a pocket of her own - dangerous, intimate, and nothing like the control she's used to.

He's her calm.
She's his undoing.
And stepping into the pocket together might change everything.

Perfect for fans of slow burn, sports romance, and fiercely capable heroines.
