Eden Astor has always been impossible to ignore: prodigy on screen, disaster off it, her name a fixture in headlines as much as in film credits. What she doesn't expect is meeting someone who might see past all of it, and force her to decide who she really wants to be when the cameras stop. Alexia Putellas x Original Chatacter

BOOK ONE OF THE HOLD ME CLOSE UNIVERSE Fleur de Voss is good at what she does. It shows from her caps for the Dutch national team, to the fact that Barcelona still want her after her season in the English WSL ends on an unexpected note. What she isn't so good at, however, is getting along with her new captain. Or so she thinks. - - - - - alexia putellas x original character

Charlotte Mackenzie can't stand footballers. Arrogant, overpaid, emotionally stunted - she's got a list, and none of them come off well. So when her best friend Imogen (who insists on calling her Lottie, like they're in some Jane Austen novel) drags her to a glitzy football party, Charlotte is less than thrilled. She's only there for the free drinks and moral support. Enter Leah - smart, funny, sharp-eyed, and far too attractive for her own good. They hit it off almost instantly, trading dry wit and flirty barbs in a quiet corner of the party. Charlotte doesn't know who Leah is, and honestly? She likes it that way. For once, she's not judging. She's just... intrigued. What Charlotte doesn't realise is that Leah Williamson is the captain of England. And a key defender for Arsenal. And very, very used to being recognised - just not by the one girl she's suddenly desperate to impress. As sparks fly and secrets simmer, Charlotte starts falling for the woman she thinks is just Leah. But when the truth comes out, will everything she hates about footballers come crashing back - or will Leah be the exception who proves her completely, heartbreakingly wrong? 🚨Mature Content 18+🚨

Leah Williamson doesn't do journalists. To her, they're all the same - relentless, nosey, and willing to twist anything for a headline. She's spent years keeping every reporter at arm's length, never letting any of them see more than the polite smile she wears on camera. Except Amy Perk. Amy is the one exception - the only journalist every footballer seems to love, and the only one Leah can actually stand. Sharp, warm, and annoyingly good at disarming her, Amy has a way of asking the questions Leah never lets anyone close enough to ask. But when Leah becomes entangled in an incident that could derail her career if the press ever finds out, Amy is the last person she should trust - and the only person she wants to. What starts as a cautious friendship begins to blur into something far more dangerous: late-night meetings, stolen glances, and a connection Leah knows could cost them both everything. Now Leah has to decide - protect her secret, or risk it all for the one person she swore she'd never fall for.

It's difficult to find the way everything fits into place once it's broken, even if a surgeon gives you a pretty significant first push. Alexia's recovery is progressing with hope.

Alexia needs a helping hand, a breath of fresh air, a new chapter in her life and a vacancy in the club that only Mia could dream of could bring them closer than ever, but at what price? How far would you be willing to go for love?

"You know, I made a promise to myself a year ago that I'd never fall in love again." Niamh spoke as Leah tilted her head to position her ear at Niamh's mouth to ensure she could hear her words.
