Game On: Can you love the player, if you hate the game?
From the author of The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle and Becoming Ted, a brand new enemies-to-lovers romcom for fans of Ted Lasso and Red, White and Royal Blue . . .
'Heart-warming and joyful' LORRAINE KELLY
'A great big hug of a book' MICHAEL BALL
Toddington FC defender Tom Horrocks is never happier than when he's on the football pitch, but when it comes to love, he's hiding a big secret. Worried about his young daughter and sick father - and with his team finally in the Premier League - he avoids all media.
Journalist Cosmo Roberts wants to change the world, so is angry when he's sent to a quiet northern town to cover a sport he sees as anti-gay. Then something about Tom catches his eye.
Cosmo hates football. Tom hates journalists.
Perhaps this time they've both met their match.
