The Lady and the Footballer by Ellie St. Clair

When a noblewoman and a working-class footballer team up to stop a saboteur, love proves the most dangerous—and irresistible—game of all.

Miss Lily Evans never expected to find purpose in her father’s textile mill—let alone in a working-class football captain. But when sabotage threatens the family business and football club, she teams up with the infuriatingly handsome Colin Thornton to uncover the truth.
Colin has no time for nobles, especially not the viscount’s spirited daughter. But with his team’s future and his family’s survival on the line, he needs Lily’s sharp wit as much as she needs his grit. As they race to stop a saboteur, sparks fly—and so do the rules of society.
With scandal closing in and a championship on the line, Lily and Colin must decide if love is worth defying everything they’ve ever known.
