Sonna, an open and funny exchange student from Australia, carries a secret weapon into the most competitive sports league in the world: a powerful, accurate leg, honed by kicking barefoot since childhood. Drafted by the New York Giants as little more than a "sexy mascot," she is sidelined and ignored, struggling to prove she's a serious athlete-not just a gimmick.
But when a brutal injury sidelines the starting kicker, Sonna is forced onto the field in the middle of a collapsing season. With the media tearing her apart and every kick under a microscope, she must prove her worth one field goal at a time. Her ultimate test arrives in the play-off final, when a sudden, violent blizzard hits. With the game tied, it will take more than skill; it will take a brave, barefoot gamble against the wind to kick her team-and herself-into the history books.

Soleil Dubois was the sweetest person you could ever meet. Her name meant 'sun' in French and that was exactly what she was. Sunshine. But don't let that sweet personality fool you because she was sarcastic and had the mouth of a sailor. Cursed like one too. She was still grieving from the loss of her mother, along with her older brother, Lucas who wasn't doing too well either, but they had decided that some things were meant to let go of, and their mother's death was one of those things.
