Santiago by Fabiola Francisco:
Noel is on a work vacation where she is in Spain realizing yet doing her job. When she is out one day she gets hit upside the head with a soccer ball, when the guy guilty of hitting her comes to apologize she plays it off and thinks nothing of it walking away. Santiago is attracted to Noel and is determined to make up for the incident, yet when things come to light like him being a famous soccer player Noel had no clue and is shocked. She isn’t like other women he has seen and he loves it, so the more time they spend together these feelings become more intense.

I wish we could have more of these two because they are perfect.… (altro)
