Parker Stanhope has played soccer practically since she could walk. And now that she’s a high school junior, everything she’s worked for is finally coming together. She’s paid her dues on the field, and as an upperclassman, she’s a shoo-in for the varsity team. But that’s not what happens.
This year, Coach Hartley moved up every JV player but two—and one of those two was Parker. Now, she’s stuck with the freshmen, her friends are cutting her loose, and her love of the game is seriously beginning to fail. But Parker is determined to get her life back. She has to get on the varsity team, and she has the perfect plan. All she needs now is the right kind of coach.

About the Author:
I am the author of three young adult novels with Random House: Top Ten Uses for an Unworn Prom Dress, How to Hook a Hottie, and The ABC's of Kissing Boys.. Recently I released a fourth YA novel, The Starter Boyfriend, available on Kindle.
I've been writing since I learned to hold a pencil, and sold upwards of a hundred short stories to national magazines before turning to novels. I share a home in the L.A. area with my rocket scientist husband, some demanding cats, and whichever of our grown kids is in town.
A two-time finalist for the Romance Writers of America's RITA award and the National Reader's Choice award for best young adult novels, my interests include Facebook Scrabble, the color orange, and chasing coyotes out of our neighborhood.

The life of Parker Stanhope, popular junior relegated to the JV soccer team and scorned by her best buds, reads like a mashup of Bend It Like Beckham, Mean Girls, and Can’t Buy Me Love, and will find a happy audience in fans of the same. To win herself a spot on the varsity team, Parker, her pre-law older brother, and his hot best friend concoct a scheme involving a sweet faculty parking spot for the coach and a knock-’em-dead kiss at the Sports Fair’s kissing booth. All Parker has to do is learn how to kiss. Enter Tristan, the lowly freshman across the street with talents he offers to share with Parker in exchange for help elevating his social standing. The plan predictably spins out of control, and Parker falls for Tristan, all the while trying to avoid the backstabbing ways of her former teammates. The lesson of being true to oneself comes across clearly, and readers will be pulling for Parker in this top-dog-turned-underdog story. Grades 8-10. --Heather Booth
