The Goal

Sabrina James is a woman with a plan. A college senior with her sights set on a cutthroat law career, she is determined to outrun a difficult past through sheer ambition and academic excellence. Her blueprint for success definitely doesn’t involve falling for a hockey player, let alone one who believes in soulmates. However, a single night of intense passion and unexpected tenderness with John Tucker changes everything, leaving Sabrina facing a future she never factored into her spreadsheets.

John Tucker has always been the ultimate team player, content to let others take the spotlight as long as the job gets done. But when he discovers he’s going to be a father at twenty-two, he refuses to sit on the sidelines. He is fully committed to Sabrina and their baby, captivated by her sharp wit and fierce independence. The challenge? Sabrina has spent her life building walls to protect her heart, and she is far too stubborn to let anyone, especially a charming athlete, derail her dreams or offer her an "assist."

As Sabrina struggles to balance her legal aspirations with her new reality, Tucker must prove that he’s more than just a fleeting distraction. He’s determined to show her that a "happily ever after" isn't a sign of weakness, and that the most important goals in life are the ones you don't have to reach alone.
