Saga Willander was supposed to be the next big thing in women's soccer.

A generational talent from New Zealand, she had spent her entire life chasing greatness. But after one devastating championship loss, everything she had worked for suddenly felt out of reach.

Desperate for a fresh start, Saga leaves New Zealand behind and moves halfway across the world to Chicago, joining the rebuilding soccer program at Rafferty University. With a new team, new expectations, and a chance to prove herself all over again, Saga is determined to become the player everyone always believed she could be.

Then she meets Drake Rys.

A talented professional hockey player who seems to have a habit of getting under her skin, Drake is the last person Saga needs distracting her from soccer. But as the two grow closer, Saga begins to realize that starting over might mean more than simply becoming a better player.

Between a new team, new relationships, and the pressure to live up to the expectations surrounding her, Saga has to figure out who she really wants to be.

Because sometimes, becoming the best means learning that you don't have to be perfect.
