The Green Oak 1: The Long Game

Adalyn Reyes has spent years perfecting her daily routine: wake up at dawn, drive to the Miami Flames FC offices, try her hardest, go home, and repeat. But her routine is disrupted when a video of her having an altercation with the team's mascot goes viral. Rather than fire her, the team's owner— who happens to be her father—sends Adalyn to middle-of-nowhere North Carolina, where she's tasked with turning around the struggling local soccer team. Her plans crumble upon discovering that the players wear tutus to practice (impractical), keep pet goats (messy), and are terrified of Adalyn (counterproductive). They're also nine-year-old girls. To make things worse, also in town is Cameron Caldani, recently retired professional goalkeeper, whose presence is something of a mystery. Cam is the perfect candidate to help Adalyn, except that after one very unfortunate first encounter involving a rooster, Cam's leg, and Adalyn's car bumper, he's set on running her out of town. But helping this ragtag children's team is Adalyn's road to redemption, and she is playing the long game. With or without Cam's help.
