Two enemies are forced to share an apartment and position as soccer coach at their small-town school... How long before they share a bed? Or worse, their hearts?
Craving a fresh start, Haddie Martin trades life in Chicago for a teaching and soccer coaching gig in the quirky small town of Summertown, IL, where her best friend Emma—her only “family”—lives. Pausing her journey in a highway hotel, what better way to spend the time than via a one-night stand with a painfully handsome, nameless stranger. Only...she chickens out at the last second and disappears.
Levi Rourke made a name for himself as a college football coach, until punching a referee on national TV in defense of one of his players earned him mandatory therapy and a one-year suspension without pay. Now he's back home in Summertown for the first time since college, temporarily coaching soccer until the suspension is up.
But when the apartment Levi is promised gets double rented, he finds himself sharing a space with the woman he thought he'd never see again—Haddie. Little did he know, he’d be working daily with his almost hookup on the soccer field, and that the spark they both feel might be more than passion. If he wasn't set to leave as soon as the school year is up, maybe…it could be love.
