They’ve trained for every challenge ... except each other.

Defense has always been Claire Caldwell’s default setting. Signing with the Boston Siege, her hometown team, was a dream come true. But outside of soccer, her life is slowly falling apart. She’s focused on one goal: making this season—likely her last—count after years of disappointments.

Otto Berger’s life was just upended mid-season. Sidelined for the first time in his career with a serious injury, he winds up thousands of miles from home, face-to-face with a woman he never expected to see again. Assistant coaching for the Siege while recovering sounded simple. Coaching Claire? Complicated.
