'When I need a guaranteed five-star, slow-burn romance, I pick up Mariana Zapata every time' – TESSA BAILEY, #1 New York Times bestselling author

'Everything Mariana writes is pure gold . . . a true gift to romance readers everywhere' – ALI HAZELWOOD, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Trust me, I've wanted to punch you in the face a time or five."

When the man you worshipped as a kid becomes your coach, it's supposed to be the greatest thing in the world. Keywords: supposed to.

It took less than a week for twenty-seven-year-old Sal Casillas to wonder what she'd seen in the international soccer icon—why she'd ever had his posters on her wall, or ever envisioned marrying him and having super-playing soccer babies.

Sal had long ago gotten over the worst non-break-up in the history of imaginary relationships with a man that hadn't known she'd existed.

So she isn't expecting this version of Reiner Kulti who shows up to her team's season: a quiet, reclusive shadow of the explosive, passionate man he'd once been.

Nothing could have prepared her for the man she got to know.

Or the murderous urges he brought out in her.

This was going to be the longest season of her life.
