Leander: A broken heart has kept me off the scene for a while now. I've devoted my time to work, books, and my fierce Santa-hating kitty named Mu-Mu. But when a soccer ball lands in my garden, my life takes a surprising turn. The British guy who kicked it tries to charm me with Hugh Grant-style fumbling and that hot accent, but I'm not playing his game.

Jake: I'm an expat working in the US. There are a few things I miss about England: my family, my mates, and the beautiful game, especially close to the holidays! I set up a team of diverse Brits so we could bond, have a game of footie, and not feel so homesick. But after a disastrous kick, the ball ends up in the garden of a stubborn American guy, and he won't give it back.

The challenge of taming Leander West could turn out to be quite a Christmas miracle!

This story is an M/M holiday romance and contains scenes of hotness!
