Watching Her Ace

A Snowed In Holiday Sports Romance

By: CJ McKnight

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A volleyball coach. A single dad. One fateful blizzard night.

In the heart of a close-knit community, Morgana Hoff, a dedicated volleyball coach and beloved social studies teacher, faces an uphill battle as she grapples with her endometriosis diagnosis and the daunting surgery ahead. She unexpectedly finds an ally in Leif Gill, a widowed father who is volunteered to be her chauffeur by his daughter. Their bond strengthens during a fateful car ride to the hospital, where vulnerability blooms amidst shared stories of love and loss. This bond grows enough to where Leif takes her to his own home to recover rather than back to her RV.

As Morgan recuperates under Leif’s roof, the warmth of his home—and the company of his spirited daughter, Sara—offers not just healing but also the spark of an undeniable connection. With each shared meal and cozy movie night, Morgan’s heart stirs in ways she hadn’t dared to hope, igniting new dreams and long-buried desires.

But as winter’s chill engulfs them, will the deeper bond forged through hardship withstand the stirring currents of fate, or will Morgan let her fears of vulnerability drive her back into the isolation she once embraced?
