Onside Play Deleted Scene

By Liz Rain

Onside Play is light-hearted, second-chance lesbian romance, where two soccer stars share a secret along with a rivalry that stretches halfway around the world.

Knockabout Australian Keeley McGee is living her childhood dream of playing soccer at the World Cup. The only thing that could kill her focus is coming up against the cool and dispassionate US team's star striker.

Beautiful, breathtaking, brilliant Christine Delacourt was the college girlfriend who dumped Keeley out of the blue years before.

What will it be like reuniting under the stadium lights, especially since they know the other's game—and each other—so intimately?

Despite a strict "no distractions" rule from her coach, Keeley finds herself drawn to Christine in a way that feels almost dangerous. Will Keeley be able to rekindle what she once shared with her now on-field enemy with the eyes of the world on them? Dare she even try?

In this deleted scene, Keeley and Christine attend a house party in their senior year of college. There are major spoilers for Onside Play in this deleted scene. Make sure you read the book first!

The young guy wearing a saggy beanie must have thought I was in some sort of cult to be walking along audibly humming that tune.

I was walking on air. We had won, there was going to be a party, and Christine had
