Jessica Russo, 22, is tired of being known as "Alessia's little sister." After proving herself at Chelsea, a shocking transfer to FC Barcelona Femení gives her the chance to step out of the shadow and build her own legacy. But Barcelona is intense. Training demands perfection, the media never stop watching, and expectations are sky high. And standing at the center of it all is Alexia Putellas captain, icon, and the last person willing to take it easy on a newcomer. Their first meeting is cold, their first training session explosive, and their chemistry immediately borders on dangerous. They clash. Constantly. Jessica's fiery stubbornness pushes against Alexia's strict leadership, turning simple drills into battles and silent glances into tension no one can ignore. Her teammates whisper. Reporters speculate. And Jessica is left wondering if she'll ever fit in. Just as doubts creep in, everything changes with one life-changing moment: Her first England national team call-up. It's validation she's fought for her entire life and it catches Alexia's attention in a way no one expected. Slowly, their dynamic shifts. Arguments soften into banter, lingering glares turn into stolen glances, and the walls Jess thought were unbreakable begin to crack. But letting feelings grow in the spotlight is risky, especially when eyes are watching... and not everyone in the locker room is happy about it. Jessica must prove she's more than her sister's legacy. Alexia must face the fear of letting someone new into her guarded world. Enemies become something else. Something complicated. Something powerful.

Alexia Putellas has been in love with her childhood best friend, Ella, as long as she can remember. Ella moved to the States to play soccer for University but upon graduation, she was given an opportunity to come home and play for FC Barcelona, her childhood club. Having Ella back home is a dream come true for Alexia. However, being in love with her best friend wasn't easy from afar, and as it turns out, it may be even harder from just across the pitch.

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. Her knee is responding well to rehabilitation, but she doesn't feel the same way. Things have changed. She doesn't have the same touch, the same class, the same magic. Amidst the spiral of anxiety and self-uncertainty she finds herself in, just before returning to training with the club, she meets Mia, a part-time waitress too tired to keep searching for a job in what she is passionate about. 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?
