International soccer star Jensen Dawes has lived a life filled with loss, finding his only true happiness on the pitch. Now, as the captain of the United States National Team, Jensen hopes to earn a major win. A World Cup Championship. After studying abroad, Nastia Petrova became fascinated with the Western world, although her heart belongs to her fellow countryman, Ukrainian figure skater Maksym Vasylyk, who has vowed never to leave their homeland. Working as an English language interpreter during the World Cup, Nastia is in almost daily contact with the U.S. team, and its engaging young captain. Although Jensen makes his interest known, Nastia vows to remain true to Maks, until a terrorist attack at home leaves her questioning everything she trusts, including her heart.
