Klappentext

***They're risking their hearts for a match worth winning.

Grace Henderson has been a star of the US Women's National Team since she was 16. But when she's side-lined with an injury at just 26, a bold new upstart, Phoebe Matthews, takes her spot. Phoebe is everything Grace isn't - a gregarious jokester who plays with a joy that Grace has lost somewhere along the way. The last thing Grace expects is to become teammates-with-benefits with this class clown.

Phoebe Matthews is too focused on her first season as a professional soccer player to think about seducing her long-time idol. But when Grace ends up making the first move, they can't keep their hands off of each other.

As the World Cup approaches, and Grace works her way back from injury, the women try to find a way they can play together instead of vying for the same position on the pitch. But as the sparks between them start to ignite, will both players realise they care more about their relationship than making the roster?
