One Olympic medal. One championship title. One World Cup final.
Yet all it takes is two minutes of rugby to send Sonny Graham running back to the remote island she once called home.
Vowing she is done with the sport, Sonny tries to lay low, but a case of wrong place, wrong time lands her as the reluctant coach of Lewis Ladies RUFC, a struggling women's rugby team on the brink of collapse.
Now Sonny is caught between her past and her future, torn between leaving rugby behind and being the team's last hope.
Then there is Del Macauley - the strong, confident, sharp-tongued childhood best friend Sonny hasn't seen in years. Years of resentment and old memories resurface; as tempers flare and sparks fly, Del soon proves to be just as impossible to ignore as the sport Sonny thought she'd left behind.
Years away from the island have changed Sonny in ways she can't quite understand. Yet at home, it feels like nothing has changed at all.

Emory James has always known she doesn't fit the mold her family built for her. While her parents and older sister thrive in courtrooms, Emory's heart belongs to helping animals and finding her purpose in quiet acts of compassion.

Now, after years of hard work, she's finally graduating as a veterinary technician and is ready to prove that following her heart was worth it.

She ends up crashing straight into Callum Bennett, the hockey star of the BrooksRidge Sparks. Callum Bennett has never had trouble getting attention on or off the ice.
