The closer she gets to the truth, the harder it is to keep her distance.

Paula Castillo is determined to get her life back on track. After years of setbacks, she’s ready to graduate, launch her journalism career, and finally confess to her parents back in the Dominican Republic that she’s been lying to them about her success. Tasked with writing a profile on the University’s soccer star, she sees it as the perfect opportunity to restore her journalistic reputation.

The problem? That soccer legend is Henry Pressley—her ex. In the past year, Henry hasn’t just signed a million-dollar deal with a Major League Soccer club; he also broke Paula’s heart. They haven’t spoken since, and Paula is determined not to let herself fall back into the whirlwind of Henry that almost cost her everything.
 

But one-on-one interviews and unexpected late nights together force them to confront their history. As Paula becomes the first journalist granted access to Henry’s tragic past, she realizes the broody soccer player still has a soft spot for his lucky charm. And maybe, just maybe, the second time’s the charm after all.
