Manchester Bees Football Club

One wrong number. Two stubborn hearts. And a whole lot of texts in between.

Scarlett Simmons apologizes for everything. For existing, for speaking up, for accidentally dousing grumpy British football managers in scalding coffee. Her therapist says it's a problem. Her ex said she was "too much." So when she lands in Manchester to resurrect England's worst football club from PR hell, she's determined to be less . . . herself.

Except she can't seem to stop clashing with Theo Ross, the club's infuriatingly proper manager who wears ties like armor and treats her American optimism like a personal offense. He's all cool professionalism and withering glances. She's all big ideas and nervous necklace-fiddling. They're a disaster.

But then there's the mystery man she's been texting since she landed. A wrong number that turned into late-night conversations, random questions about eye color and neckties, and a connection so easy it makes her forget to apologize. With him, she's not too much. She's exactly enough.

As the football season heats up and the stakes get higher, Scarlett finds herself caught between the job that could make her career and the feelings that could break her heart. Because sometimes the most complicated plays happen off the field.
