Header by Toni Denise

She’s a wary soccer mom. He struggles to contain his short fuse on the pitch. When push comes to shove, can they call full-time on love?
Tori Atkins is done with men. So when the single mom’s eight-year-old son embarrasses her by running up to his sporting idol, she dismisses the player’s kind eyes as a one-off encounter. But when the same guy shows up at her community youth center with a plan to train disadvantaged kids, she can’t ignore their growing attraction.
Chance Lawrence’s hot temper is a major problem. Suspended after a taunt drew a punch in response, the talented striker does his best to show he’s no troublemaker by taking therapy and getting youngsters engaged. But the explosive pro isn’t sure he can keep his calm whenever he’s around that pretty woman…
Though Tori feels safe by her new lover’s side, she worries their public outings may be a selfish ruse to get the star forward back on his team. And as Chance takes a risk and introduces the captivating lady to the other guys, an off-the-cuff remark could tear them apart forever.
Can they find their happily ever after before the final whistle blows?
