He’s fighting for his comeback. She’s guarding her peace. Falling for each other? Not in the game plan. After a devastating injury, Ehizojie “Zo” Irabor thought his days of glory were over. Now, with one shot at redemption, he joins underdog club Viva City FC in their fight to survive the Premier League. But reclaiming his name on the pitch is only half the battle. His biggest challenge might just be the sharp-tongued director who refuses to stay out of his head. Idara Etienam knows all about reinvention. Once a rising star in professional sports, she gave up her career after an injury and a stint in reality TV left her questioning her purpose. Now, as the director of Viva City’s Outreach Initiatives, she’s determined to prove she’s more than her past. But when her father’s schemes threaten everything she’s built, the last thing she needs is an arrogant footballer who might just upend her carefully rebuilt life. As their worlds collide, sparks fly both on and off the field. But with ambition, redemption, and love all on the line, they’ll discover that the greatest victories are won beyond the touchline.

Unoma Nwankwor writes Christian & Sweet contemporary romances that span Africa and the African Diaspora. Unoma weaves romantic tales for readers who enjoy stories centered around faith, family and the rich culture of Africa. Through the pages, she promises you humor, tight hugs, forehead kisses and above all else, redemptive, sacrificial love. Unoma wears many hats, but the one she's most proud of is, mother of two kids and wife to her film director husband. She juggles this with co-running her entertainment company KevStel Productions & Publications, hosting her podcast; Anchor Talk and speaking to Christian Entrepreneurs through her Expectant Living platform. Her readers are in love with her unique way of telling stories that capture the essence of her present home base in the USA and her Nigerian culture. You can catch her writing from the comfort of her bedroom nook with a pack of pepperoni slices and a cup of java
