Book Synopsis

The third book from Branford Boase award nominated author, Jenny Ireland. This YA sport romance is perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Emily Henry!

When Lexie sees Shane for the first time, she's blown away. Not only by the way he plays football (although that is great), but by his looks, and how he's not like the other boys. Best of all, he feels the same way about her. Electricity at first sight.

But there''s a problem.

New in town, Shane has taken the position in Westing FC''s starting 11 that Lexie's brother, Niall, had set his sights on. Now, they must be each other''s biggest secret. Shane''s family situation is complicated, so there isn''t much space for a girlfriend... or is there?

At first, the sneaking around is exciting: after practice, meeting on the beach, hiding from Niall. But things are about to get complicated...
