Eric Mitchell thought he had the game of life under control—coach a middle school soccer team, raise his spirited ten-year-old son Robbie, and keep his heart safely on the sidelines. But when Robbie's grades begin to slip and a fiercely dedicated PE teacher steps in with unsolicited advice and an irresistible smile, Eric's carefully guarded playbook is about to be rewritten.

Megan Turner isn't here for drama—or charming, chaotic single dads. She's here to help kids thrive, even if it means confronting stubborn soccer coaches who blur the line between passion and overcommitment. But the more time she spends with Eric and Robbie, the harder it becomes to separate her heart from her job.

As their playful rivalry on the field turns into a tender connection neither of them saw coming, Megan and Eric must navigate missed homework, miscommunication, and a growing affection that's too real to ignore. With Robbie watching every move and their pasts threatening to interfere, can they let go of their fears long enough to build something more than just teamwork?

He's learning to slow down. She's learning to let go. And somewhere between kickball drills and unexpected dinners, they're both starting to believe in second chances.

Could love be the one play neither of them saw coming?
