She came to Tennessee for a clean start. Falling for the referee of a church flag football league was never part of the plan. A fierce competitor. A steady referee. One injury that changes everything. When a devastating Achilles injury sidelines Sara during a church flag football season, the fiercely independent athlete is suddenly forced to rely on Carlos-the calm, rule-following referee she's spent weeks clashing with on the field. As months of recovery strip away the strength she's always depended on, Sara must decide whether protecting her independence is worth pushing away the one man who refuses to let her face the hardest season of her life alone. A clean, faith-based sports romance about healing, community, and the unexpected love waiting on the sidelines.
