This is a terrible idea.
After experiencing a tragic loss, Elise Auclair refuses to let her trauma dictate her life. With her father’s support and a whole lot of therapy, she’s ready to throw herself into her greatest dream: finishing her final season as the Blaze’s team captain and joining the women’s Olympic football team.
Rafael Romero-Castillo was once known as a carefree thrill-seeker. Until one accident changed the entire trajectory of his life. Now, as the team captain of the Wyvern Warriors, he’s content to focus solely on rugby.
After a scandal led to their coach being fired, the Blaze needs an interim coach, and Elise’s father, the head coach of the Wyvern Warriors, is determined to find one. Even if it means offering up the reclusive rugby team captain.
But what do you get when you mix the impossibly grumpy, emotionally closed off interim coach with the equally grumpy, spitfire team captain? A combination that could lead to screwing or being screwed.
Meena’s reading vibe: The kind of story that proves love can bloom even when life feels heavy — grumpy, tender, and so worth the fight.
