Synopsis "The Long Game"

A disgraced soccer exec reluctantly enlists the help of a retired soccer star in coaching a children’s team in this smalltown love story in the vein of Ted Lasso and It Happened One Summer —from the New York Times bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception.Adalyn Reyes has spent years perfecting her daily routine: wake up at dawn, drive to the Miami Flames FC offices, try her hardest to leave a mark, go home, and repeat.But her routine is disrupted when a video of her in an altercation with the team’s mascot goes viral. Rather than fire her, the team’s owner—who happens to be her father—sends Adalyn to middle-of-nowhere North Carolina, where she’s tasked with turning around the struggling local soccer team, the Green Warriors, as a way to redeem herself. Her plans crumble upon discovering that the players wear tutus to practice (impractical), keep pet goats (messy), and are terrified of Adalyn (counterproductive), and are nine-year-old kids.To make things worse, also in town is Cameron Caldani, goalkeeping prodigy whose presence is somewhat of a mystery. Cam is the perfect candidate to help Adalyn, but after one very unfortunate first encounter involving a rooster, Cam’s leg, and Adalyn’s bumper, he’s also set on running her out of town. But banishment is not an option for Adalyn. Not again. Helping this ragtag children’s team is her road to redemption, and she is playing the long game. With or without Cam’s help.

She is Spanish, a chemical engineer, and a hopeless romantic. After years of devouring books with happy endings, she has decided to write her own. Farsa de amor a la española is her first novel, which she started by self-publishing, and it has become an international success and a phenomenon on social networks. In addition to being a best-selling author of The New York Times, Elena has been the first Spanish woman to win a Goodreads award, and her novel has reached more than twenty-five countries.

Elena's book success began in 2021 with the publication of her first novel, The Spanish Love Deception (La hipótesis del amor in Spanish). This story, which combines a charming mix of romantic comedy and "enemies to lovers," became a viral phenomenon on social networks like TikTok, quickly reaching the bestseller lists in various countries.

After her dazzling debut, Armas reaffirmed her talent with The American Roommate Experiment (La teoría de los besos), a novel that expands her literary universe with vibrant characters and irresistibly romantic situations. Both works have been translated into several languages and have established Elena Armas as an essential author for lovers of contemporary romance.

Elena draws inspiration from her love for romantic stories and her desire to create real, relatable characters that connect with readers. Her narrative stands out for its freshness, smart dialogues, and plots that explore human emotions in an authentic and fun way.
