Alé's whole life revolves around work as a freelance photographer & her 4 year old son, Gabriel. When she gets the opportunity of a lifetime to become the photographer for one of the biggest football clubs in England, what will happen when she meets the broody and ever so serious captain, Elijah Taylor? 


									                    ***


Alé is a 24 year old single mom trying to navigate the world  with her 4 year old son, Gabriel. She has worked extremely hard to establish herself as one of the most sought after freelance photographers in London. Alé hasn't even thought about being in a relationship since she had Gabriel, having sworn off men since her god-awful ex ruined the thought of relationships for the foreseeable future. Who wants a young single mom anyway? Besides, she has her beautiful son, a great job, great friends, and a loving family; what more could she want? At least that's what she thought until she ran into one of the most famous football players in the country. 


26 year old Elijah Taylor has only ever had one priority in life; becoming the best football player he could possibly be. Having grown up in England all his life the only thing he has ever known is football. Getting to where he is now, becoming the one of the youngest captain in his clubs history and so close to hitting the all time goal scoring record for his club as well hasn't been an easy road; girls only ever want one thing from him and making friends outside his teammates is hard when you're training every day and on the road every weekend. Living a lonely life is starting to take its toll on Elijah when out of nowhere one of the most beautiful women in the world is thrown into his life at full speed. Will she be the breathe of fresh air that he so desperately needs, or will a relationship jeopardize everything he's worked so hard for?

He ignites something that makes her willingly want to go against all that she thinks she is. ~ Cade Lapley is a ruthless barrister: equally so in his personal life.

Yet somehow, this lost-looking woman ignites something within him; a place that has been dark and uncaring ever since he was a little boy. He knows he is playing with an emotional fire, and will more than likely only get his fingers badly burnt. Yet still, Cade finds himself unable to leave this woman alone. He knows he should.
