Scissor Kick

Morrigan Twine lives for football, winning, and women, in an order that shifts depending on the hour. A brutal injury should have ended her season, maybe her career, but she's back in four months flat, and the story pointedly refuses to explain how.

That miracle recovery isn't free. Morrigan bargained for it, and the game is less interested in the football than in what that bargain starts pulling into her life as she tries to slide back into her old routine like nothing happened.

You follow Morrigan through that unraveling, reading through her days as her comeback attracts more attention, and more women, than a normal recovery should. It's played for laughs rather than dread, with the humor doing most of the heavy lifting scene to scene.
