Ward Sisters book 1 (I read this in 2023 or 2024?)
Molly had a huge crush on the neighbor's son when she was a teenager finally deciding to do something about it she climbed into his window she was 16 and he was 19 (probably not too aware of her existence until she plopped herself on his lap). Noah in college at the time and home for the day couldn't believe his luck having a beautiful girl climb into his window... his dad caught them and brought her home he then finds out she is 16 and realizes how close he came to ruining his future over a few minutes of fun he decided to change his ways and not get attached to any girls anymore and just focus on the main goal... his future in football and that has suited him just fine until that same girl who led to him losing his focus the first time comes back into his life.
A large time jump happens (like 10 years) they are no longer teenagers Noah has been traded to the Washington Wolves football team after a misunderstanding that happened on his previous team with one of the team mates wives. Molly's older brother (Logan) is Noah's new coach, Molly works with the team as well and he will be working closely with Molly on a project since he has been chosen for an episode of a documentary that focuses on the lives of football players and she is now his new point person that makes sure that he has everything that he needs for the day.
Molly would rather do anything else than be next to the guy that broke her heart ages ago but she does want a promotion and in order to get the promotion she needs the filming to go off without a hitch... Noah isn't making things easy for her he is grumpy and just wants to settle in working on doing well with his new team. He also doesn't want to share with the world that he is a rather lonely guy who is so focused on his job he doesn't have much of a personal life he sees other guys on the team going home to wives/girlfriends and kids but he has never needed any of that he is fine being solo.
Noah begins to open up to Molly while spending more time with her she brings out a softer side that he didn't even know he had and it scares him what if he loses his edge in the game he has been set in his ways so long that he isn't sure how things will be if he does let someone in but somewhere along the way of working on the show he has fallen for Molly and now that he has he doesn't know how to keep her.
Part of the conditions for working on the documentary involved a no fraternization policy and while Molly has been trying to stay professional she can't help but fall for this handsome, grumpy guy once she cracks his outer shell he is kind and caring and when he looks at her like she is the only one that matters she melts. What will happen if she takes a chance and crosses the line?

I read this series after reading the original Washington Wolves series and I really enjoyed it I read it in a few days I've compiled some negative thoughts from other readers (proceed with caution may have spoilers):
- Some readers found the story predictable & boring
- The lead characters were boring with no chemistry
- Didn't feel enough of a connection between the couple to be believable as being in love by the end of the book leading to it feeling rushed
- Their past history Molly (16 at the time) tired of waiting for Noah to notice her didn't think of the potential consequences for Noah who was (19 and a college football star) but sneaking in his room and coming on to him could potentially have been setting him up for charges leading to ruining his future at such a young age.
- Molly's over protective brother (Logan) is now Noah's coach putting Noah in a bad position since he's now on this new team and this past history is hanging over his head when he was just a kid at the time too. None of them mention the past history to the organization which could lead to further problems.
- Some people felt that Molly was pushy, spoiled and unprofessional especially when upon seeing him for the first time in years she cornered Noah in a elevator and pushed the stop button essentially forcing him to have a conversation with her
