Going for the Keeper
Maximillian Schultz came to America for one reason: redemption.
Once a rising star in Germany's top league, he's now fighting for a spot on the World Cup roster-and to prove he's still the keeper he used to be. He doesn't have time for distractions. Especially not the warm-hearted teacher who lives next door.
Tessa Everett has spent her life holding everything together-her family, her students, herself. Falling for the broody German goalkeeper with the devastating smile was never part of her carefully balanced plan.
But late-night conversations turn into slow, scorching kisses. Shared meals become something dangerously close to belonging. And just when Max starts to feel untouchable again-on and off the pitch-his confidence shatters in front of thousands.
With his career spiraling and his identity unraveling, Max must decide who he is without football. And Tessa must decide whether she's willing to risk loving a man who might leave-physically or emotionally.
Because some saves don't happen in the box.
And some victories have nothing to do with the scoreboard.
An emotional, open-door sports romance featuring neighbors-to-lovers tension, a broody European hero, and a love story about choosing each other-even when everything else falls apart.
