The Long Game By Elena Armas

The New York Times bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception tells a small-town love story reminiscent of Ted Lasso and It Happened One Summer, in which a disgraced soccer executive unwillingly enlists the assistance of a retired soccer legend to coach a children’s team.
Adalyn Reyes has been honing her daily schedule for years: get up early, go to the Miami Flames FC offices, make every effort to make an impression, return home, and repeat.
However, a video of her fighting with the team’s mascot goes viral, upending her routine. Instead of firing her, Adalyn is sent to a remote area of North Carolina by the team’s owner, who also happens to be her father, to try to make amends by turning around the Green Warriors, a struggling local soccer team. When she learns that the players are nine-year-old children, wear tutus for practice (which is impractical), maintain pet goats (which is dirty), and are afraid of Adalyn (which is unproductive), her preparations fall apart.
To make matters worse, Cameron Caldani, a goalkeeping prodigy whose presence is a bit of a mystery, is also in town. Although Cam is the ideal person to assist Adalyn, he is also determined to run her out of town following a very regrettable first encounter in which a rooster, Cam’s leg, and Adalyn’s bumper were involved. Adalyn, however, cannot be banished. Never again. She is playing the long game by lending a hand to this motley children’s squad, which is her path to redemption. with or without the assistance of Cam.
