Description

A soccer star and a kind-hearted artist find themselves on the same team, but love is a game they never planned on playing.

Lucy Martin left her small hometown behind after her divorce. Now she's back, caring for her soccer-crazed nephew while his parents are deployed. She'd do anything to make him happy—including approaching her high school crush and current soccer superstar, Ryker James, for a favor.

Nursing an injury, Ryker is laying low at his parents' house until he can rejoin his club and prove he has reformed his bad boy ways. When the sister of an old friend asks him to coach her nephew's soccer team, he should decline. But Lucy intrigues him, and he finds himself unable to disappoint her.

Coaching forces them together and sparks fly—on and off the field. Lucy is wary of romance, and Ryker can't afford a distraction. Before the final whistle blows, will they take a shot at love or forfeit the match?

    Lucy survived liver disease and a transplant and her ex-husband cheating on her with a woman she thought was her best friend. Ryker survived growing up poor and being bullied constantly to become a world renown professional soccer star. He’s a player off the field and she’s been cheated on, so how could she survive the fake relationship to improve his bad boy image he proposes, but she thinks of her 9 year old nephew Connor and all the good Ryker can do assisting his soccer team. I didn’t know much about soccer before reading this book. I loved that Lucy was an artist and graphic designer and has a career that she could do anywhere so she was available to take care of her nephew while her brother and his wife were serving in the military. This was a clean romance with plenty of funny and romantic moments.
