Sometimes choosing yourself is the bravest thing you can do.
Alba Borrego has always known her place: beside her little brother, Curro.
When their parents left them on their abuelitos’ doorstep, Alba promised Curro the life she never had. Years later, after losing the grandfather who raised them, she’s determined to keep that promise. So, when Curro gets the chance to join the Real Castellón fútbol academy, she doesn’t hesitate.
Because Curro comes first. He always has.
Then there’s Mateo Vidal.
Real Castellón’s star goalkeeper has everything except the family he’s always wanted. When he takes Curro under his wing, Mateo becomes an unexpected part of Alba’s life—and makes her question everything she’s sacrificed.
For the first time, Alba wants something for herself.
She wants Mateo.
But choosing herself feels selfish when she’s spent her entire life putting everyone else first.
Maybe loving someone doesn’t mean losing yourself.
Maybe choosing yourself doesn’t mean abandoning the people you love.
Maybe…Alba is finally ready to discover that she deserves a life of her own.
Tropes:
-he falls first
-slow burn
-black cat fmc x golden retriever mmc
-no third act breakup
-single guardian
-forced proximity
-paranormal sports romance
