He plays to win—but loving her could cost him everything.
Miss Lily Evans has always believed she would marry for love, but with her parents growing impatient and her freedom slipping away, she’s desperate to escape her mother’s choice of suitor. She never expected her surprising protector to be the very man she’s forbidden to love, a working-class footballer who plays for her father’s team.
Colin Thornton has no time for highborn ladies—especially not the viscount’s fiery daughter. With his family relying on him, he’s buried his dreams to work and play football, the only passion left that’s truly his. Falling for Lily could cost him everything.
But when sabotage strikes both the family business and Colin’s beloved football club, Lily and Colin are forced to work together to uncover the truth. As danger draws them closer, desire ignites between them—and suddenly, defying society’s rules becomes the least of their worries.
The Lady and the Footballer is a steamy Victorian historical romance.
