The Coyotes' Code of Conduct is clear: no romance between players and staff. Break it, and I lose my job and my reputation.

Love or basketball?
Off Center is a steamy sports romance with forced proximity, workplace romance, paparazzi chases, a fixer-upper NBA team, undeniable chemistry, and a guaranteed HEA. Perfect for fans of Love and Basketball.
