Maddie Grace has followed her passion, and against all odds has become the first female professional football umpire in Australia. When an on-field accident sees her caught up in play, and on the receiving end of a blow to the head that knocks her out, Maddie’s career is in jeopardy—not because of the accident, but because of the young man who knocked her out. Zac Beecham is one of Australia’s most loved professional sports stars. He’s used to the intrusive paparazzi who seem determined to ferret out some dark and dirty secret where there is none. Having been open about his faith and Christian morals, he knows he is a target. So when he ends up on top of Maddie Grace, dazed and in a stupor from concussion, the media pounce on the visual images and decide to make a mountain out of a mole hill. Ridiculous Zac’s secret love affair with the ref – investigation into corrupt umpiring. Dodging headlines is one thing, but dodging Maddie Grace is another. This novella is also available in the Christmas Box set - An Aussie Summer Christmas - featuring 6 Christmas novellas set in Australia, and featuring a warm, beach Christmas theme.
