    "description": "<p>Adalyn Reyes has spent years perfecting her daily routine: wake up at dawn, drive to the Miami Flames FC offices, try her hardest to leave a mark, go home, and repeat. But her routine is disrupted when a video of her in an altercation with the team&rsquo;s mascot goes viral. Rather than fire her, the team&rsquo;s owner&mdash;who happens to be her father&mdash;sends Adalyn to middle-of-nowhere North Carolina, where she&rsquo;s tasked with turning around the struggling local soccer team, the Green Warriors, as a way to redeem herself. Her plans crumble upon discovering that the players wear tutus to practice (impractical), keep pet goats (messy), and are terrified of Adalyn (counterproductive), and are nine-year-old kids. To make things worse, also in town is Cameron Caldani, goalkeeping prodigy whose presence is somewhat of a mystery. Cam is the perfect candidate to help Adalyn, but after one very unfortunate first encounter involving a rooster, Cam&rsquo;s leg, and Adalyn&rsquo;s bumper, he&rsquo;s also set on running her out of town. But banishment is not an option for Adalyn. Not again. Helping this ragtag children&rsquo;s team is her road to redemption, and she is playing the long game. With or without Cam&rsquo;s help.</p>",
