The Greatest Game
She’s met her match. But will the winner take all… or lose everything?
Marcee Ackerman’s dream job as head soccer coach at Pemberton Prep is turning into a nightmare. Her new boss has given her an ultimatum – win the state championship or say goodbye to her job and her girls forever. To make matters worse, Pemberton’s rival school hires the last person she ever expects – hotshot ex-England football player Remington Lockley.
Remy ran from London to escape the scandal which jeopardised his entire professional career, and with both their reputations and jobs on the line, Marcee and Remy must do whatever it takes to be winners on and off the pitch.
But every match has its penalties, and falling for the enemy may be just what Marcee’s boss needs to get rid of her for good. When soccer is life, and love is the greatest game of all, can she juggle both?
