Kicks, goals, and a second shot at love. Two soccer stars share a secret along with a rivalry that stretches halfway around the world in this light-hearted, second-chance lesbian romance. Knockabout Australian Keeley McGee is living her childhood dream of playing soccer at the World Cup. The only thing that could kill her focus is coming up against the cool and dispassionate US team's star striker. Beautiful, brilliant Christine Delacourt was the college girlfriend who dumped Keeley out of the blue years before. What will it be like reuniting under the stadium lights, especially since they know the other's game-and each other-so intimately? Despite a strict "no distractions" rule from her coach, Keeley finds herself drawn to Christine in a way that feels almost dangerous. Will Keeley be able to rekindle what she once shared with her now on-field enemy with the eyes of the world on them? Dare she even try?

Liz is from sunny Queensland, Australia and grew up doing lots of swimming, cricket and netball. She has a degree in journalism, even so she knew, that the hours were long and the pay was bad.
After she got her degree she taught English in Japan, where she joined a soccer team to meet girls. Luckily the captain was a very nice American who is now her wife.
They live quietly in Logan, Queensland, with their two daughters, plus a dog named Pancake and a cat named Carly-Rae.
