Knox Barrett has his life under perfect control—until single mom Riley Santos storms his soccer field and calls him a heartless robot.
The team captain thought he'd failed at love once. Now he's fighting for custody of his daughter while coaching youth soccer with military precision. The last thing he needs is Riley's beautiful chaos disrupting his carefully ordered world.
But Riley isn't backing down. Her son earned his spot on Knox's elite academy team, and she won't let some grumpy perfectionist crush his dreams. Even if that perfectionist has eyes that see straight through her defenses and hands that make her forget why falling for complicated men is dangerous.
When Riley brings Knox homemade energy bars after his worst day, something shifts between them. When he helps her ten-year-old son master the perfect corner kick, walls start crumbling.
But Knox's ex-wife is watching. Every dinner, every laugh, every moment of domestic bliss becomes ammunition in a custody battle that could tear his daughter away forever. Choosing Riley might cost him everything.
Riley knows what it's like when men decide she's too much work. When they choose easier paths over fighting for love. She won't put her heart—or her son's—through that devastation again.
Two broken families. One impossible choice. And two children who believe love should multiply, not divide.
Can Knox prove that caring about Riley doesn't mean loving his daughter less? Or will protecting the family he has cost him the family he's found?
