Cassie Wells never imagined the soccer field would be where her life unraveled - and where she might find herself again.
In the hideaway town of Elmwood, Maine, Cassie hides behind her academic achievements, masking the trauma of her parents' recent divorce and the explosive fallout with her former best friend, Isabella Sanchez. Cassie and Isabella were powerhouses on the Elmwood High soccer team, and their bond was unbreakable - until two years ago when Cassie betrayed Isabella and shattered their trust. This betrayal led to Cassie's withdrawal from the team, leaving Isabella to carry the weight of the team on her own.
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?
