Rosie is a reception teacher who prefers picture books to match days and glitter glue to goalposts. Her world is quiet, gentle, and blissfully football-free-until a chance encounter with a loud, unapologetic Irish player turns everything on its head. Katie McCabe lives for the game. Arsenal star, Ireland captain, chaos personified-she's used to winning on the pitch and charming off it. But when Rosie doesn't recognise her, doesn't care who she is or what she's won, Katie finds herself unexpectedly intrigued. One teaches four-year-olds how to share. The other kicks people for a living. Neither expects to collide. Neither expects to care. Set between the classroom and the stadium, this is a story about finding connection in unlikely places, learning each other's language, and what happens when quiet meets chaos.

Katie McCabe doesn't believe in fate - she believes in training, hard work, and not letting anyone get close enough to break you. But when she forgets her cousin's birthday, a last-minute dash into a flower shop changes everything. Nell Carter has seen all kinds of customers, but none quite like the Irish whirlwind who crashes through her door demanding "something that says 'I didn't forget your birthday, I just have commitment issues.'" It's meant to be a one-off. But Katie keeps coming back. At first for flowers. Then for the calm. Then for Nell. And Nell? She knows better than to fall for someone whose entire life is lived in the spotlight. But Katie - chaotic, fierce, unexpectedly kind - is like sun on soil Nell didn't know needed tending.
