Emily Henry meets Ted Lasso in this wickedly funny and deeply heartfelt football romance from a must-read new voice in the romance space.

One new job. One star footballer. One rule: keep it professional.

Abby McIntyre doesn't care about soccer—sorry, football. She only applied for the marketing job at Mersey FC to get away from her cheating fiancé in Boston. Now, she's in a new country with no social life and an Instagram feed full of men in tiny shorts.

Enter Lachlan Ramsey—a world-famous footballer with killer abs and a delicious Scottish accent. Abby's sure that all footballers are players, but Lachlan takes her by surprise. He's kind, funny, and a great listener. And he's lonely, too.

Abby isn't looking for love, though. She's still reeling from her broken engagement, and besides, players are strictly off limits if she wants to keep her job. She's happy just being Lachlan's friend. But when Abby's evicted from her flat and Lachlan invites her to move into his penthouse, the sparks between them become harder to ignore.

With her new life on the line, will Abby really keep playing with her heart and risk getting caught offside?

About the Author

Anna McCallie was born in Boston and moved to the small town of Stilwell, Kansas, as a child. She has a B.A. in Arabic from Harvard University and an M.A. in International Environmental Policy from the Fletcher School, yet has never managed to have a job related to either of those subjects. She lives in London, and when she's not writing, she can be found solving crossword puzzles, badgering her friends to go to pub quizzes, and watching a tremendous amount of football. Abby Offsides is her first novel.
