Avalanche || Jamie Tartt

Finley March is running.

The only home she's ever known isn't safe, and she has the scars and bruises to prove it. So, she runs.

She runs away to London, gets a job at a pub, and meets Ted Lasso, eternal optimist and football coach to the local team, AFC Richmond. She tries to keep him at arm's length, without much success, keep her head down and focus on the one thing she knows how to do: pour drinks and serve food.

It's a good plan until Jamie Tartt walks through the pub door, and Ted asks Finley one simple question. Do people deserve a second chance? Despite everything she's been through, she says yes and doesn't know that it's exactly was the hotshot footballer needs to hear. Jamie starts coming into the pub to talk to her, and before long, they're friends and dancing on the edge of something more.

But there are secrets between them. Finley can't let Jamie all the way in because what she left behind could come back to haunt her, and if it does, her life is on the line.
