Whitney grew up in numerous foster homes until she found a home near a soccer academy. The owner at that time offered her time to practice and learn from others but she had to be willing to help coach. As a teenager she felt unloved and unwanted. This man gave her something to hold onto and believe in. Hardy also had a terrible childhood except he had a mother and stepfather. But, his stepfather really didnt want him and his mother was willing to send him to boarding school so that her husband would be happy. So we have two people who have been disappointed and let down. Years later Whitney has taken over the soccer academy and she is a person lots of children look up to and admire. Now Hardy who is a British star player in the United States, but a P.R. nightmare, with one disaster after another. So to repair his reputation he must spend time at the academy. Now Whitney at first is very attracted to Hardy but after their very first encounter she’s annoyed by him. So this grumpy- sunshine relationship is a definite slow burn. The story is slow in some parts. But I did enjoy the banter between the two characters. The road to love is never easy and these two took the long hard road to their HEA.
