Two top athletes, both with world titles in their sights. The one thing they didn't aim for was each other...
Liana Murphy has a plan: take the manager's job in New Zealand, show the world a woman can lead a men's soccer team, and qualify for the most elite competition in the world. Simple, right? She wasn't called 'The Queen of Football' for nothing. But when Liana is forced to share an apartment with the 'King of Rugby,' her recipe for success is put to the test. With all the world watching, failure isn't an option.
Mitch Molloy let the World Championship slip through his grasp four years ago. Now, redemption for the Kiwi team captain lies in winning the title on his home turf. This last victory will seal his legacy. All he needs to do is dedicate himself entirely and eliminate anything that could pull his focus. When a friend asks Mitch for a favor, he finds himself unexpectedly sharing his condo with ambitious Liana Murphy. As kindred spirits, their attraction is undeniable. But are their careers calling louder than their hearts?
While falling for each other might be easy, juggling the demands of their dreams proves harder than either expected...
