Offside Rules

Noah Colman has spent the last year chasing two impossible dreams: a professional soccer career and a man who refuses to choose him. After finally walking away from the heartbreak that's been holding him back, Noah is determined to focus on his future. Professional scouts are watching. His final year of university is underway. And for the first time in a long time, he's ready to put himself first. Then Elena Vargas crashes into his life. She's his coach's daughter, his relentless personal trainer, and the last person he should be falling for. Elena has spent years building walls around her heart. Between law school, family expectations, and a career she refuses to compromise on, romance has never been part of the plan. Especially not with one of her clients. But somewhere between brutal training sessions, late-night conversations, and stolen moments together, their friendship turns into something neither of them can ignore. Just when Noah and Elena begin imagining a future together, an unexpected pregnancy changes everything. Now they're forced to navigate growing careers, complicated families, and fears they never expected to face so young. With Noah chasing his professional soccer dreams and Elena struggling to balance motherhood with her own ambitions, they'll have to decide whether love is enough to survive the pressure. Because building a future is one thing. Building a family is another. OFFSIDE RULES is a heartfelt sports romance featuring a bisexual hero, roommates-to-lovers tension, found family, emotional healing, an unexpected pregnancy, and a love story that proves the best things in life rarely go according to plan.
