SynopsisJilly Cooper's legendary hero returns in the steamy Sunday Times bestselling romance, this time on the football field... 'Infectiously joyful and funny' - The Observer 'If you loved Riders , and binge-watched Ted Lasso , then this is your dream novel . Pitch perfect and utterly swoon-worthy. Jilly is a genius' - Clare Pooley 'Pure escapism - who could ask for more?' - Daily Express Rupert Campbell-Black, all-conquering racehorse owner-trainer and handsomest man in England, is in the darkest of places. His adored wife, Taggie, is about to undergo chemotherapy. His beloved leading stallion has been assassinated. Now his daughter Bianca is badgering him to buy into a failing local football club so he can sign up her superstar striker boyfriend, Feral Jackson. Rupert dislikes football and his first impressions of Searston Rovers are distinctly unfavourable. But as their new and indelibly competitive chairman, he won't stand for anything less than an Everest climb to the top of the Premier League. With the help of the club's ravishing and adorable secretary, and sassy Press Officer, he becomes increasingly fond of his riotous mix of players. But Rupert's explosive arrival at Searston causes outrage, and the fights are as furious off the field as on. With glamorous WAGs looking to stir up trouble, and the rival local football team's duplicitous and corrupt chairman, things aren't going to be easy. Let the scandals, sabotage, and seductions begin... Praise for Tackle! 'A total treat' - Daily Mail 'A giddy, sexy, exuberant romp of a story...a total tonic, offering the sort of glorious escapism we're all desperately in need of' - Daisy Buchanan 'Bursting with fun, puns, and shenanigans' - Jill Mansell 'Won't disappoint her many fans' - Sir Ian Rankin 'With her talent for boisterous plots and dialogue, Cooper delivers feisty fun ... With this novel , Cooper shoots again and scores' - Daily Telegraph 'A fabulous feast of fun, frolics and football' - Jo Thomas, Jilly Cooper's legendary hero returns! Rupert Campbell-Black, all-conquering racehorse owner-trainer and handsomest man in England, is in the darkest of places. His adored wife, Taggie, is about to undergo chemotherapy. His beloved leading stallion has been assassinated. Now his daughter Bianca is badgering him to buy into a failing local football club, Searston Rovers, so he can sign up her superstar striker boyfriend, Feral Jackson, and he and Bianca can return home from Perth to look after Taggie. Rupert dislikes football and his first impressions of Searston are distinctly unfavourable. But as their new and indelibly competitive Chairman, he won't stand for anything less than an Everest climb to the top of the Premier League. With the help of the club's ravishing and adorable secretary, Tember West, and his sassy Press Officer, Dora Belvedon, he becomes increasingly fond of his riotous mix of players, despite bawling them out whenever they face defeat. Rupert's explosive arrival at Searston causes outrage, so the fights are as furious off the field as on - particularly when glamorous WAGS flood in to stir up trouble and lust after Rupert... Nor do the rival local football team, their duplicitous chairman and their corrupt dealings make things easier - let the scandals, sabotage and seductions begin...
