She’s plotting a romcom. He’s playing without a game plan.

But sometimes the best love stories are the ones that don’t follow the script.

Is it too much to ask for a romcom-level romance?

Fran Fairchild doesn’t think so.

After growing up in a loveless home, she is determined to script her own happily-ever-after.

True love is out there. It’s real. And Fran won’t be leaving without it.

But so far, her romcom remakes have been one epic fail after another.

Until one unexpected kiss from a handsome stranger saves her from public humiliation—

Callum Whitaker–professional soccer player and certified romance skeptic–didn’t plan to kiss Fran. Or to spiral into a six-month goal drought. Let’s just say the universe isn’t playing fair.

After a toxic relationship, Callum has decided that love isn’t part of his agenda… while scoring goals on the field is. Only the more he focuses on his game–the worse it gets.

Until Fran.

Yep, quirky, cute little Fran–who Callum is determined NOT to fall for–just might be his lucky charm. That kiss and her schemes are changing his game.

But Fran’s got more than luck on her side–she’s on a mission: Convince Callum that love is not the enemy. And somehow, it’s working. Bit by bit, he’s realizing he does need love in his life.

Or maybe he just needs Fran.
