An evening with Elena Armas

New from the author of The Spanish Love Deception and The American Roommate Experiment, this smalltown tale follows Adalyn, a disgraced soccer exec trying in vain to save a local junior team. Helping this ragtag group of nine-year-olds is her road to redemption, but retired goalkeeping prodigy Cameron, with whom Adalyn made a less-than-great first impression, is determined to run her out of town. 

 

Adalyn thinks Cameron is a surly, scowling brute. Cameron thinks Adalyn needs to take life less seriously. Despite their differences, the two need to play nice and remember they’re on the same team. After all, it’s a long game…
