Rosie Graham a un problème. Plusieurs, en fait. Elle vient de quitter un emploi bien rémunéré pour se consacrer à l'écriture de romans d'amour. Elle n'en a pas parlé à sa famille et souffre d'un terrible syndrome de la page blanche. Puis le plafond de son appartement new-yorkais s'écroule littéralement sur elle. Heureusement, elle dispose du double des clés de chez sa meilleure amie Catalina, partie en lune de miel. Mais Rosie ne sait pas que Lina a déjà prêté son appartement à son cousin Lucas. Les voici forcés de cohabiter. Et l'adorable Lucas semble vouloir venir à son secours tel un chevalier espagnol en armure étincelante pour l'aider à retrouver l'inspiration. Sauf qu'il se promène avec une serviette autour des hanches, a un sourire distrayant et un accent irrésistible. Oh, et il cuisine...

Catalina Martin est désespérée. Pour ne pas arriver seule au mariage de sa soeur - auquel assisteront son ex et sa fiancée -, elle a assuré à toute sa famille en Espagne qu'elle viendrait avec son petit ami américain. Sauf que celui-ci n'existe pas. Et voilà que ce qui n'était qu'un mensonge inoffensif est à présent hors de contrôle. Quatre semaines avant les festivités, elle ne voit aucune issue. C'est alors qu'Aaron Blackford, un collègue exaspérant, se propose pour le rôle. Plutôt mourir que de passer un week-end avec ce type aussi froid que l'hiver new-yorkais ! Pourtant, l'échéance se rapproche et Catalina doit se rendre à l'évidence : Aaron est sa seule chance de s'en tirer la tête haute.

A disgraced soccer exec reluctantly enlists the help of a retired soccer star in coaching a childrens team in this smalltown love story in the vein of Ted Lasso and It Happened One Summer --from the New York Times bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception. Adalyn Reyes has spent years perfecting her daily routine: wake up at dawn, drive to the Miami Flames FC offices, try her hardest to leave a mark, go home, and repeat. But her routine is disrupted when a video of her in an altercation with the teams mascot goes viral. Rather than fire her, the teams owner--who happens to be her father--sends Adalyn to middle-of-nowhere North Carolina, where shes tasked with turning around the struggling local soccer team, the Green Warriors, as a way to redeem herself. Her plans crumble upon discovering that the players wear tutus to practice (impractical), keep pet goats (messy), and are terrified of Adalyn (counterproductive), and are nine-year-old kids. To make things worse, also in town is Cameron Caldani, goalkeeping prodigy whose presence is somewhat of a mystery. Cam is the perfect candidate to help Adalyn, but after one very unfortunate first encounter involving a rooster, Cams leg, and Adalyns bumper, hes also set on running her out of town. But banishment is not an option for Adalyn. Not again. Helping this ragtag childrens team is her road to redemption, and she is playing the long game. With or without Cams help.
