He's a professional footballer with the nickname Saucy Shorts and is known for his dedication to the game.



Me? I'm called a butterfly by my own family, flittering from project to project on our historic ancestral estate, abandoning them for something new.



So why do I feel as if Mr Saucy Shorts might be a safe place for me to land once and for all—if I can be brave enough to let him in?

We're opposites. Noah Darby blushes at the nickname TikTok has coined for him. He's quiet. Noah has known what he's wanted to do since he was a little boy, and he's lived his life with one goal—becoming a world-class footballer.

Meanwhile, I, Lady Violet Banfield, am known for my bubbly personality and non-stop talking. However, I'm floundering in the gift shop at my family's estate, held back from pursuing an art career in London out of my own fears and doubts.

But when I talk to Noah, opposites attract—and the chemistry is palpable. But how can I possibly live up to what he already sees in me? Dare I take a chance on this footballer and risk my heart? And if I do, will I find more than a love story as a result?

If you like green-flag MMCs and when he falls first—and hard—with no third act breakup, you'll love this heartwarming romance.
