Blurb:

Kodi Davey is a huge soccer fan and dreams of managing a team's socials one day. Unfortunately she might've ruined her chances when, during her crazy college years, she went viral at a game for … public indecency. So when she finally gets an interview with the Destin Dastards FC, the manager is reluctant to give her the position. But he does offer her a chance to prove she’s changed, by being the grumpy keeper’s PA.

Olli Kean believes that his hard work speaks for him. He’s here to play soccer, not perform for a crowd. Too bad for him, the new second-string keeper can do both, and if Olli doesn’t do more to draw in an audience, it could be his last season with the Dastards. To give him a fighting chance, the team manager assigns him a PA with social media experience. Too bad for Olli, this PA is his childhood crush, his first kiss, and the girl he never really stopped thinking of. And she’s forgotten all about him.

These two Daunted Dastards have a lot to overcome: Kodi’s reputation and Olli’s forgettable presence. But can they do that without rebuilding their forgotten trust? And maybe rekindle an old flame while they're at?
