The Hellion and the Captain
(2025)(The second book in the Scandals and Scores series)
A novel by Ellie St. Clair
She breaks every rule – including his.
Emmaline Whitmore won’t accept that football is off-limits just because she’s a woman. In defiance of society’s expectations, she disguises herself as a man and joins Manchester Central’s team as ‘Emmett.’ With her hair hidden and figure bound, she’s determined to prove she belongs on the pitch.
As Emmett, she earns hard-won respect. As Emmaline, she constantly clashes with Rhys Lockwood—the team’s stern, by-the-book captain. Their sharp banter soon gives way to a growing tension neither can ignore.
Rhys suspects something’s off about the new player, and when he discovers Emmaline’s secret, he’s torn between denying her and protecting her. Still, he can’t help admiring her boldness—or the woman behind the disguise. As they grow closer, Rhys risks everything to protect her from those eager to expose the truth.
With the threat of discovery rising and the pressure mounting, Emmaline must decide how far she’ll go—for the game she loves and for the man she is falling for.
Genre: Historical Romance
