When escaping your family leads to the ones who truly feel like home…

Molly Williams is building a life on her own terms, free of her alcoholic parents and their penchant for bad decisions. She’s not interested in distractions—not even in the form of a handsome footballer. Until her mom and dad fail to pay their loan shark, and Molly needs to come up with £100,000, stat.

Carlos Pereira, star forward for Real Madrid, is instantly drawn to the curvy brunette behind the bar. And when he hears about the debt that’s stressing her out, he sees an opportunity to help them both—the money in exchange for a surrogacy deal. The child he’s always wanted.

Horrified by his offer, Molly turns him down…before she realizes Carlos’s deal is the only way for her to protect her family. Whisked from Manchester to Lisbon to start proceedings, keeping things professional becomes Molly’s top priority.

But how long can Carlos and Molly maintain their distance when feelings complicate their arrangement? Or when new flames step between them?
