One Sweet Soccer Summer
(2026)(A book in the One Sweet Soccer Summer series)
An omnibus of novels by Emily Bellford
ONE SUMMER. THREE COUPLES. ONE SMALL TOWN THAT KNOWS EXACTLY WHEN TO MEDDLE.
The biggest soccer tournaments of the summer are heating up.
So are three romances that could change everything.
From an off-limits attraction between a trainer and her brother’s teammate, to a captain and reporter caught between trust and the truth, to two defenders facing the second chance they never got, the complete One Sweet Soccer Summer trilogy delivers small-town charm, sharp banter, emotional tension, and three swoony happily-ever-afters.
CLEATS & CHEMISTRY
He’s her brother’s teammate.
Her off-limits patient.
And the one player she absolutely cannot want.
Keeping the Charlotte Kings healthy for the Global Cup should be enough to occupy the team trainer’s attention. Unfortunately, charming midfielder Colton Ayers keeps sitting on her treatment table, flashing his crooked grin, and noticing the pieces of herself she hides from everyone else.
One reporter is already circling.
One headline could wreck her career.
And if her brother discovers she’s falling for his teammate, this summer won’t just change the game.
It’ll change everything.
HEADLINES & HEARTSTRINGS
He’s the captain everyone trusts.
She’s the reporter he doesn’t.
Sienna Voss always gets the quote no one else can. Darius Vale gives careful answers, a captain’s calm, and nothing he doesn’t want appearing in a headline.
Until he starts trusting her with the truth behind the cameras.
But when someone leaks his injury mid-match, every reporter wants to know what Sienna knew and when she knew it.
The Global Cup Final will decide more than a trophy.
It could decide whether trust and love can survive the same headline.
DEFENDERS & DO-OVERS
Her second-chance almost-first-love is back on her field.
And this time, he notices everything she’s trying to hide.
Nathan Bellows was the boy who knew her game before she knew her heart. Then he disappeared without giving her a say.
Now he’s a Global Cup champion, she’s Team Canada’s captain, and tournament media keeps pairing them for defender panels, youth clinics, and tactical breakdowns.
They call it chemistry.
She calls it poor scheduling with cameras.
Because loving Nathan once nearly broke her.
Trusting him again could cost her everything.
Three complete sweet romances. Three hard-won happily-ever-afters. One unforgettable soccer summer.
Game on!
