The unmissable new romance from Elena Armas, bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception and The American Roommate Experiment.
A disgraced soccer exec reluctantly enlists the help of a retired soccer star in coaching a children’s team in this small-town love story in the vein of Ted Lasso and It Happened One Summer.
Adalyn Reyes has something to prove. After years of working at her father’s football club she wants to make a name for herself. But not for the wrong reasons.
When an embarrassing video of Adalyn goes viral, her father sends her to a small town to turn around their struggling soccer team. She arrives armed with plans to kick them into shape only to find a group of nine-year-old girls. One person is there to help: Cameron Caldani, a goalkeeping legend who is also inexplicably in town. After an unfortunate incident involving a rooster, the two find themselves on opposing sides.
Adalyn thinks Cameron is a surly, scowling brute. Cameron thinks Adalyn needs to take life less seriously. Despite their differences, the two need to play nice and remember they’re on the same team. After all, it’s a long game…

The Spanish Love Deception is an enemies-to-lovers, fake-dating romance. Perfect for those looking for a steamy slow-burn with the promise of a sweet happy-ever-after.
From the author of the Goodreads Choice Award winner The Spanish Love Deception, the eagerly anticipated follow-up featuring Rosie Graham and Lucas Martín, who are forced to share a New York apartment.
Rosie Graham has a problem. A few, actually. She just quit her well paid job to focus on her secret career as a romance writer. She hasn’t told her family and now has terrible writer’s block. Then, the ceiling of her New York apartment literally crumbles on her. Luckily she has her best friend Lina’s spare key while she’s out of town. But Rosie doesn’t know that Lina has already lent her apartment to her cousin Lucas, who Rosie has been stalking—for lack of a better word—on Instagram for the last few months. Lucas seems intent on coming to her rescue like a Spanish knight in shining armor. Only this one strolls around the place in a towel, has a distracting grin, and an irresistible accent. Oh, and he cooks.
Lucas offers to let Rosie stay with him, at least until she can find some affordable temporary housing. And then he proposes an outrageous experiment to bring back her literary muse and meet her deadline: He’ll take her on a series of experimental dates meant to jump-start her romantic inspiration. Rosie has nothing to lose. Her silly, online crush is totally under control—but Lucas’s time in New York has an expiration date, and six weeks may not be enough, for either her or her deadline.

In this forty-day devotional, Cuban American writer Kat Armas shows
us that reading the Bible with fresh eyes allows us to experience
God in new and liberating ways. Many Christians today are seeking
to disentangle biblical teaching from power structures that
marginalize women and people of color. There's a hunger for a new
kind of devotional that offers refreshing and relevant ways to
connect with God and the Bible--ways that challenge readers to seek
out a more liberated and embodied faith. Drawing from personal
narrative and Scripture, Armas highlights biblical passages that
point toward decolonized themes centered on creation, wisdom,
spirit, the body, and the feminine. Sacred Belonging helps us see
how Scripture directs us to live a liberated faith, where we belong
to God, the earth, and one another.

"[A] powerful debut. . . . This persuasive testament will appeal to
Christians interested in the lesser-known women of the
Bible."--Publishers Weekly "Armas expertly weaves her own
abuelita's history of personal faith and resistance into each
chapter and intersects it with biblical text, creating an
approachable work."--Library Journal What if some of our greatest
theologians wouldn't be considered theologians at all? Kat Armas, a
second-generation Cuban American, grew up on the outskirts of
Miami's famed Little Havana neighborhood. Her earliest theological
formation came from her grandmother, her abuelita, who fled Cuba
during the height of political unrest and raised three children
alone after her husband passed away. Combining personal
storytelling with biblical reflection, Armas shows us how voices on
the margins--those often dismissed, isolated, and oppressed because
of their gender, socioeconomic status, or lack of education--have
more to teach us about following God than we realize. Abuelita
Faith tells the story of unnamed and overlooked theologians in
society and in the Bible--mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and
daughters--whose survival, strength, resistance, and persistence
teach us the true power of faith and love. The author's exploration
of abuelita theology will help people of all cultural and ethnic
backgrounds reflect on the abuelitas in their lives and ministries
and on ways they can live out abuelita faith every day.
