Now it's senior year, and their paths cross once more, forcing them to confront their past and buried feelings. Cassie's school counselor suggests she rekindle her old passion for soccer in an attempt to form new connections. However, she is met with her worst enemy and the captain of the Elmwood High soccer team, Isabella Sanchez. Now they must find a way to work together on the field and settle their differences. Through high stakes matches, late night practices, and cheeky banter, Cassie and Isabella navigate their tangled emotions. Their witty remarks and endless bickering reveal an attraction neither one of them can deny. Will they choose to embrace their undeniable connection, or will the lingering wounds of the past keep them apart?
