Summary
Emily Henry meets Ted Lasso in this wickedly funny and deeply heartfelt football romance from a must-read new voice in the romance space.
One new job. One star footballer. One rule: keep it professional.
Abby McIntyre doesn’t care about soccer—sorry, football. She only applied for the marketing job at Mersey FC to get away from her cheating fiancé in Boston. Now, she’s in a new country with no social life and an Instagram feed full of men in tiny shorts.
Enter Lachlan …
