Cal Porter is Highridge Secret's golden boy. Agile, accurate, and impossible to ignore, he's the striker everyone cheers for.
Kess Caldwell is Iron Row FC's wall. She doesn't care how popular Cal is. If he gets close to her goal, she's taking him down.
In the teen Barefield League, cleats are banned, bare feet rule, and co-ed rivalries get messy fast, both on and off the pitch. Cal and Kess are sworn enemies, but when an injury and a red card force them both out of the game, their rivalry follows them where they least expect it.
Now they're stuck dealing with each other without the whistle, the crowd, or the ball between them. And the more they fight, the harder it gets to pretend it still feels like hate.
