Set in Valencia, 'No Goal Without Assist' is a slow-burn queer romance about women's football, finding your place, rebuilding yourself after loss, chasing your dreams without losing sight of the people who matter, and learning that love is never a weakness.
Mira has just landed in Valencia - slightly lost and trying not to fall apart after leaving behind everything she knew: her country, her job, and the girl she loved. All she wanted was a fresh start. A place where she didn't have to shrink herself to fit in. No distractions. Just work, football, sunshine, and figuring out who she is now.
Then a dog steals her ball... and leads her straight into Adriana's path - a confident, annoyingly attractive local with killer footwork and a habit of staying in Mira's mind long after she's gone.
What Mira doesn't know yet? Adri is a professional player recovering from a brutal injury that nearly ended her career. Her team's back in the top league, but Adri's still fighting for confidence, closure, and her place in a world that doesn't always treat women athletes like they belong.
Both women carry more than they let on - messy breakups, family pressure, and a fear that love might derail their goals. But something keeps pulling them back. To the pitch. To each other. To the version of themselves they both want to be.
Because not every goal is on the pitch. And not all victories are won alone.
