When Lexie sees Shane for the first time, she's blown away. Not only by the way he plays football (although that is great), but by his looks, how he's not like the other boys. Electricity at first sight.
He feels the same about her.
But there's a problem. New in town, Shane has taken Lexie's brother Niall's position in the national U18s starting 11. So Shane must be her secret. Niall can never find out.
And she must be Shane's secret too. His family situation is complicated. He's a carer for his disabled father. It doesn't allow for a girlfriend.
At first, the sneaking around is exciting: after practice, meeting on the beach, hiding from Niall. But things are about to get complicated . . .
