About this ebook

**GOLDEN CROWN LITERARY SOCIETY AWARD-WINNER FOR BEST CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE!**

One football goddess. One future Queen. One love that could change the game.

Princess Victoria has perfected the royal playbook: calculated smile, convenient boyfriend, impeccable press. But behind the tiara ticks a heart that's tired of playing by the rules.

Enter Ashleigh Woods: England's football captain, media darling, and living proof that authenticity scores every time. When Victoria pins an MBE on Ash's lapel, the instant chemistry jolts both their worlds.

Stolen glances become secret meetings. Private texts become tabloid gold. And suddenly, Victoria's tearing up her royal rulebook for a woman who makes her feel like more than her title. Ash has faced down penalty shootouts in European Cup finals, but winning Victoria's heart? That's the match of her life.

When their romance hits the headlines, it's game on: bow to tradition, or fight for a love that could change history. Victoria's got a crown to inherit. Ash has a legacy to defend. Neither planned to start a revolution, but when destiny meets desire, sometimes you have to risk it all to win.

Get ready for Clare Lydon's latest game-changer: a royal romance that proves some matches are worth breaking every rule for.
