He's been Ashcombe's boy since he was eight. He's the man Ashcombe threw away at seventeen.
Sol Ferreira has done everything right. Fourteen years in Ashcombe Athletic's academy, one goal on a European night, and suddenly he is the club's favourite story. The homegrown winger. The good lad. The boy who has never wanted anything that was not football. Then a new contract arrives with a condition attached, and the first thing the badge asks of him is a run of community appearances on a caged pitch in Peckham, with a camera crew.
Joel Amankwah was Ashcombe's boy too. Then he was seventeen, and it took ten minutes in a small room to end it. Now he coaches forty kids with eleven bibs on Kestrel Road, plays non-league on Saturdays, and does not go anywhere near Vale Park. He is not remotely impressed by the millionaire in the branded trackies, and he says so.
Sol keeps turning up anyway. For the cones, then for the work, then for the first man who has ever put his hands on him without measuring what he is worth. He has never wanted anyone like this and has no idea what he is doing. Joel is careful with him in a way that takes him apart.
But Sol will not say it out loud. Not to the club, not to the cameras, not yet. And Joel has been left by this game once already. He knows how the story goes. The boy goes where the football is, and the man who was let go at seventeen stays behind and pretends he saw it coming.
Sooner or later, this game asks somebody to give something up. Both of them already know it. Neither of them can agree on who it should be.
Break is a first-time, class-divide MM football romance with a guarded coach, a golden boy coming quietly apart, and banter that turns filthy. Book three in The Men of Ashcombe FC. Every book in the series is a standalone with its own happy ending.
Tropes and content: First time for one lead Guarded coach and golden boy Keeping it quiet, and what that costs Class and money divide Dual first-person point of view Found family in a football dressing room Praise and claiming Open door heat and a guaranteed happy ending
