"A disgraced soccer executive reluctantly enlists the help of a retired soccer star in coaching a children's team"-- - Baker & Taylor
When an altercation with a team mascot gets her sent to middle-of-nowhere North Carolina where sheâs tasked with turning around the struggling local soccer team, disgraced soccer exec Adalyn Reyes butts heads with a goalkeeping prodigy whoâs set on running her out of town. Original. - Simon and Schuster
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A disgraced soccer exec reluctantly enlists the help of a retired soccer star in coaching a childrenâs team in this small-town love story in the vein of It Happened One Summerâfrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception.
Adalyn Reyes has spent years perfecting her daily routine: wake up at dawn, drive to the Miami Flames FC offices, try her hardest to leave a mark, go home, and repeat.
But her routine is disrupted when a video of her in an altercation with the teamâs mascot goes viral. Rather than fire her, the teamâs ownerâwho happens to be her fatherâsends Adalyn to middle-of-nowhere North Carolina, where sheâs tasked with turning around the struggling local soccer team, the Green Warriors, as a way to redeem herself. Her plans crumble upon discovering that the players wear tutus to practice (impractical), keep pet goats (messy), and are terrified of Adalyn (counterproductive), and are nine-year-old kids.
To make things worse, also in town is Cameron Caldani, goalkeeping prodigy whose presence is somewhat of a mystery. Cam is the perfect candidate to help Adalyn, but after one very unfortunate first encounter involving a rooster, Camâs leg, and Adalynâs bumper, heâs also set on running her out of town. But banishment is not an option for Adalyn. Not again. Helping this ragtag childrenâs team is her road to redemption, and she is playing the long game. With or without Camâs help.
