The Long Game A novel Elena Armas

Adalyn Reyes, dedicated to her routine at Miami Flames FC, faces a sudden upheaval when a viral video lands her in trouble with the team's mascot. Instead of termination, her father, the team owner, sends her to North Carolina to revive the struggling Green Warriors soccer team. Adalyn's hopes are dashed upon discovering that the team consists of nine-year-old kids who wear tutus to practice and keep pet goats.

Complicating matters is Cameron Caldani, a talented goalkeeper whose presence in town raises questions. Despite being a potential ally, a disastrous first encounter leaves Cam determined to oust Adalyn. However, Adalyn refuses to back down, seeing the opportunity to redeem herself through the children's team.

As Adalyn navigates the challenges of coaching the inexperienced players, she realizes she needs Cam's assistance. Despite their initial animosity, Adalyn is determined to win Cam over and turn the Green Warriors into a formidable team. With or without Cam's cooperation, she is committed to her path of redemption, determined to prove herself capable of leading the team to success.
