I was running from the paparazzi when I crashed into a mystery girl with bright eyes and lavender hair.
All it took was a smile from her, and I was a goner.
We agreed to one night. No strings. No real names.
So imagine my surprise when I discover she’s moving across the hall from me—in another country.
But I don’t have time for distractions, especially after last season.
It doesn’t matter that I’m the best of the best, the only American keeper in the Premier League. I need to prove myself to my new team. I need to give them everything so we have a shot at winning the championship.
But I have a problem.
It was supposed to be one night. But I want more. . .
DAPHNE QUINN
I blame it on my Yes Year: finally stepping out of my comfort zone, moving to London, and . . . Him.
The man I spent that magical evening with. But this version of him, the guy who wears all black and a matching scowl, is nothing like the man I remember.
I do my best to avoid him, instead focusing on creating a real-world safe space for my online knitting community and collecting as many experiences as I can during my stint abroad.
But one neighborly run-in leads to another, and suddenly, I’m catching glimpses of him again.
For the first time in my life, I feel confident enough to play by my own rules. To live my life on my own terms, bullies be damned.
But how do I play to win when I’m facing down a man who protects his heart at all costs?
