The Long Game: A novel by Elena Armas

In the New York Times bestseller, a disgraced soccer exec, Adalyn, faces an unexpected twist. Sent to revive a struggling children's team in North Carolina as redemption, she encounters chaos—tutus, goats, and terrified nine-year-olds. To complicate matters, Cameron Caldani, a mysterious goalkeeping prodigy, becomes an unlikely ally.

Adalyn's road to redemption takes an amusing turn as she navigates the challenges of coaching a quirky team. The town's small-town charm clashes with Adalyn's urban sensibilities, creating a delightful backdrop for this love story. The narrative promises humor, heart, and unexpected connections as Adalyn plays the long game to redeem herself, with or without Cam's reluctant assistance.

The small-town setting, whimsical details, and the clash of worlds create a captivating tale reminiscent of It Happened One Summer. With her routine shattered, Adalyn discovers the joy of unexpected friendships and the transformative power of coaching a team of spirited youngsters.

Set against the backdrop of soccer fields, pet goats, and the unpredictable nature of small-town life, this love story unfolds with humor and heart. The Spanish Love Deception's bestselling author delivers another charming narrative, showcasing the resilience of the human spirit and the unexpected ways redemption can manifest in the most unlikely places.
