Soft Hands, Soft Hearts

Free with Kindle Unlimited

She’s the calmest player on the pitch. Her new teammate is the loudest. The locker room isn’t big enough for what’s building between them.

Mia Bell is the quiet architect of the Austin Renegades — the midfielder who makes everyone else shine while keeping herself invisible. She’s disciplined, controlled, and still carrying the scar of being traded by the team she gave everything to. She doesn’t let people in. She doesn’t do loud. She definitely doesn’t fall for teammates.

Riley Sharp is chaos in cleats — the new left winger who plays like a wildfire and talks like a party. She’s magnetic, fearless, and running from the fear that she’s too much for anyone who gets close. She fills every room she enters. She fills every silence. She’s never met a wall she couldn’t charm her way through.

Except Mia’s.

From the first training session, their on-pitch chemistry is undeniable — passes that arrive like love letters, runs into spaces only they can see, a connection so electric the commentators call it telepathic. Off the pitch, the tension is even worse. Late-night patios. Shared hotel rooms. Texts that say everything without saying anything at all.

Mia tells herself it’s professional. Riley tells herself she can wait. But when “just teammates” starts cracking under the weight of everything they’re not saying, both women have to decide: protect the team, or fight for something that might be bigger than any championship.
