Past can disrupt future. It can haunt, scare, and steal. When Charli gets offered the opportunity to reignite her passion, all she can hope for is that her future is no longer haunted, scared by, and most importantly, stolen from by her past, to allow her to embrace what life has to offer, through football.

At seventeen, Freya Cole is living her dream. A call-up to Arsenal's senior squad and a surprise England debut put her on the fast track to stardom. But behind the headlines and highlight reels, Freya is still a girl far from home - fiercely independent, quietly lonely, and unsure where she truly belongs. When a single mistake off the pitch changes everything, Freya's future begins to unravel. Suddenly, the world that once adored her feels impossibly small and judgmental. Enter Leah Williamson, Arsenal's captain and England's leader - calm, steady, and protective. What starts as mentorship soon becomes something deeper: a bond that feels like family. As Freya faces the hardest season of her life, Leah stands beside her, teaching her that strength isn't just about goals and glory - it's about getting back up when life knocks you down. A story about football, found family, and the courage to begin again, Father Figure explores how love can take unexpected forms - and how sometimes, the people we least expect become the ones who hold us together.

At 15, Luci was Barcelona's rising star-until a brutal injury tore her world apart. Four destroyed knee ligaments, one cold-hearted father, and zero hope. Recovery is hell, and home is worse. But when football legend Alexia Putellas steps in and takes Luci under her wing, a new kind of healing begins-one that goes beyond the pitch. With Mapi León's wild energy, new friendships with Jana and Nicky, and the game she thought she lost forever, Luci starts to discover who she really is.
