Jenika Burns has spent her life with one goal: to outplay Nikki Walsh, her fierce teammate and rival. In the final game of the season, she's finally on top-until a devastating injury shatters her dreams of dominating the field and attending her last summer soccer camp with her best friend, Harley. Struggling to make sense of a summer without soccer, Jenika feels lost, trapped in a world she barely recognizes.
Enter Keagan, her best friend's charming and annoyingly persistent brother. Determined to lift her spirits, Keagan makes it his personal mission to show Jenika that life exists beyond the soccer pitch. Just as she begins to rediscover joy in unexpected adventures, his cousin-a mysterious and magnetic addition to their summer crew-turns her world upside down.
As the days unfold, Jenika finds herself drawn into a whirlwind of laughter, late-night talks, and stolen glances that make her wonder if romance might be the best game she's ever played. But with summer slipping away and rehabilitation underway, she will have to decide if she's ready to step off the sidelines and into a future she never imagined.
Filled with heart, humor, and a touch of first love, Sidelined is a story about discovering who you are when the game you've always loved isn't everything. Perfect for fans of sporty romance and coming-of-age tales, this is a summer to remember.
Bella Moretti has it all-a devoted husband, a glamorous life, and a wardrobe that could make royalty jealous. As the beloved wife of Adrian Moretti, one of the most powerful men in the country, her days are filled with charity galas, luxury vacations, and stolen kisses over morning espressos.
Then, one day, a mysterious man arrives.
Her employers have been waiting. The mission she never knew she had-the one she was trained for but somehow forgot-has begun. And her target?
Adrian Moretti. Her husband.
Does she finish the job-or betray everything she was trained for? Because if Adrian finds out first, she might not get a choice.
