Cannon West left his hockey playing days behind to care for his dying wife but has since found success on the other side of the bench. Now, as the youngest head coach in league history, he’s hoping to lead the Pittsburgh Titans to a winning season. The last thing he’s looking for is a relationship, but life sometimes takes us in another direction.

The Pittsburgh Titans are still working to move on from the tragic plane crash that forever changed the landscape of their organization. Having lost my wife, I know all about grief and the guilt of survival which makes me uniquely equipped to take this team to the next level. From the very first time I stepped inside the Titans’ arena, I knew I was exactly where I needed to be.

New to town, I’m still establishing my routine, but I have the most important aspect under control—the coffee shop where I stop on my way to the arena every morning. A strong cup of java and the gorgeous manager who I can’t help but chat up is quickly becoming my favorite way to start the day. But no matter how much I enjoy the blush that stains Ava Cavanaugh’s cheeks with my admittedly awkward attempt at flirting, I know it will never be more than brazen banter with a new friend. My job consumes almost all my time, and I know firsthand what that level of commitment can do to a relationship.

That doesn’t mean I’m not open to some fun. My career comes first, but Ava understands my boundaries. The only problem is that once I give into her temptation, the rules I set for myself become blurred, and my mixed signals hurt Ava—the one thing I promised I wouldn’t do. I’ve put myself in what seems to be an untenable situation, but I’ve faced those before. Now I need to find the strength to move past my fears, or risk losing my second chance at love with the woman who has stolen my heart.

Cannon by Sawyer Bennett is A Pittsburgh Titans Novel that will steal your heart and re-enforce why Bennett is a bestselling author!

In this powerful story, the new Titans Head Coach Cannon West meets his match….

Cannon walked away from the game to care for his dying wife; he comes back to the game when the Titans came calling and now finds himself as the youngest Head Coach in the NHL.

He is driven and carried with him the scars of the past, ones that go deeper than grieving his wife… nope not telling read the book…

Ava and Cannon meet as he frequents the coffee shop she works at; the why and how Ava works here added depth to this story and makes for some great scenes (especially the one with the Titans owner; nope again not telling read the book)

As Ava and Cannon slowly open up to each other as each comes to terms with both their connection being beyond chemistry and how their past needs to be left in the past I found myself glued to my kindle!

This book is a great lesson on how well life works when you find the right person to craft your life with.

I am so excited for Hendrix story next…  he was one of The Lucky Three so I know this one is going to be powerful!

I hope the Pittsburgh Titans series never ends!!
