'Sweet and fun the whole way through!' Nisha Sharma, author of Dating Dr. Dil

'Pacy and pitch-perfect!' Lizzie Huxley-Jones, author of Make You Mine This Christmas

All is fair in love and rivalry...

Dina is done. She's burn out after years in corporate London and now is working in her family's struggling Bangladeshi restaurant. The last thing she expects is to be roped into coaching a football team of disadvantaged amateur players - or to say yes.

Maya is back. She could have had a brilliant career, but it all went...well wrong. Now she's back home, back in her childhood bedroom. Her only escape is agreeing to coach her old secondary school's team.

It doesn't take long for them to bump into each other again and for as long as anyone can remember, Dina and Maya were rivals. But will the very game that tore them apart bring them back together?

An enemies-to-lovers and angsty queer Bend it like Beckham meets Cross the Line jampacked with quirky side characters who cannot help but intervene to push their uptight managers together.

Praise for The Perfect Match:

'Fans of Jaigirdar's debut sapphic adult romance will stamp and cheer like Dina and Maya's #1 fan' Lillie Vale, USA Today bestselling author of Wrapped with a Beau and The Shaadi Set-Up

'This sapphic sports romance should be on everyone's radar! I truly couldn't put it down' Anam Iqbal, author of The Exes,
