When Marley slinks back to her hometown at rock bottom—jobless, broke, and humiliated—she's forced to confront the very place she couldn't escape fast enough two decades ago. Landing a teaching gig coaching the school's notoriously terrible girls' soccer team is her shot at redemption, but when small-town rumors threaten her reputation, she strikes an unlikely deal with Jake Weston, the sexy reformed bad boy who's now the town's most beloved coach. What starts as a fake relationship arrangement to silence the gossip mill quickly becomes dangerously real, complete with off-the-charts chemistry and genuine feelings neither of them saw coming. This is Lucy Score at her best—a second-chance love story packed with humor, heart, and the kind of slow-burn tension that'll leave you fanning yourself (and maybe questioning whether fake dating in your hometown is actually the worst idea ever).

Gritty indie rock meets sultry R&B—redemption anthems with edge, second-chance ballads that ache, and sensual builds that sizzle. Think Hozier's raw vulnerability, SZA's intoxicating pull, The National's tension. Small-town swagger meets genuine heart.
