When hearts collide on and off the field, winning isn't always the goal...
Logan Taylor swore she'd never fall for a player-especially not the one who broke her heart years ago. Now, as a rising sports reporter covering Miami United FC, she's forced to face CJ Dawson, the team captain and the man she thought she left behind.
CJ's focus is on winning championships and protecting his team, not rekindling old flames. But when Logan walks back into his world with her sharp questions and guarded smile, the game starts to feel a lot more personal.
As tensions rise between rival teams, media storms brew, and secrets from the past threaten to unravel everything, Logan and CJ must decide what's worth fighting for: their careers, their reputations... or each other.
Because sometimes, the real game isn't played on the field-it's played with the heart.
