Cara Lynch has never believed in happy endings. Growing up with an alcoholic father and a family that's falling apart, she's learned to rely on one thing and one thing only-rugby. It's where she feels strongest, where the world finally goes quiet. Iris Gibson hides her pain behind an easy smile. She spends her days helping in her mam's bakery, playing rugby, and pretending the past can't reach her. No one knows the truth about the family she's desperate to escape. When Cara and Iris meet on opposite sides of the rugby pitch, sparks fly-and not the good kind. A brutal match ignites a rivalry neither of them can shake. But as the season unfolds, stolen glances become secret meetings, and hatred slowly gives way to something neither girl saw coming. With rival teams, painful pasts, and a relationship that has to stay hidden, Cara and Iris must decide whether love is worth risking everything they've ever known.

Josie Lynch knows how to disappear. At home, silence is survival. Bruises, harsh words, secrets she can't share. With her twin brother Joey, staying small is the only way to survive. She counts every bite. Every pound. Control is all she has left. Then comes Tommen College. And Hughie Biggs-cocky, untouchable, exactly who she shouldn't want. Something about him pulls her in anyway. And she's not sure she can stay safe.

**Saoirse Máire Lynch** was never meant to be the problem.Fourth year at Tommen College, top of her class, teachers' favourite, future already lined up before she's even finished school. She wears her success like armour-sharp, polished, untouchable. From the outside, she's everything her parents fought for. But Saoirse has always been good at hiding things. She has her mother's shine-the beauty, the confidence, the effortless way she commands attention. And she has her father's darkness-the recklessness, the edge, the part of him that once nearly destroyed everything. The difference? Joey Lynch was caught. Saoirse hasn't been. Not yet. Because while everyone sees perfection, Saoirse crossed the line a long time ago-quietly, carefully, and without leaving a trace. What started as curiosity became habit. What became habit is now something tighter. Something louder. Something she can't fully control anymore. And the worst part? She doesn't know if she wants to. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **Nessa Casey Dempsey**lives like consequences don't exist. Also fourth year. Also Tommen College. But where Saoirse is control, Nessa is chaos.She's the life of every party, the name everyone knows, the girl you hear before you see. If it's Friday, she's out. If it's Saturday, she's already somewhere better. And if you're looking for her on a Sunday-don't bother. She doesn't stop. School is an afterthought at best-barely passing, barely trying. But give her a camogie stick, and she's unstoppable. Fast, aggressive, electric on the pitch. It's the only place where everything in her clicks into focus. Everything else? Blurred lines. Late nights. Bad decisions she laughs off like they don't matter. But they do. Because behind the parties and the noise, Nessa is running just as hard as Saoirse-just in a different direction.

𝐀𝐈𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐒, rich, unreal, always looking like she's just stepped out of somewhere better than here. The kind of girl people turn to look at twice, even when they don't mean to. I might've fancied her once. Alright-more than once. But that was before I got any sense. Before I remembered she's his sister. My best mate's sister. And that's a line you don't cross unless you've a death wish. Still... it's hard not to look. Not when she laughs like that, head tipped back, like the whole world's in on the joke. Not when she walks past and smells like something expensive I can't even name. I don't stare. I'm not that stupid. Just the odd glance. That's all. -ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈ 𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐀𝐍 𝐅𝐄𝐄𝐋𝐘, brooding, mysterious, keeps to himself. He doesn't stare too long at anyone. He's too busy focusing on that guitar of his. And I know lassies find it endearing. But I don't care. I see him around the house, the group hangs out a lot there so it's hard to miss a friend like him. I can't be interested- and it's not as if I am. Hell, he's a player from hell. And I'm heaven.

𝐓𝐀𝐃𝐇𝐆 𝐋𝐘𝐍𝐂𝐇 wasn't broken, but he'd never been fixed, he was just simply pieces of glass, scattered, left, done and dusted. As everyone moved on in their lives? Shannon with Johnny? Joey with Aoife and AJ. Ollie and Sean too young to comprehend. But Tadhg wasn't. He was stuck in the middle, a maze of his own feelings. Trapped in his own mind. He knew there was something wrong. He felt different, his mind wasn't mapped like everyone else's... Perhaps it was his past, the fire that burnt him to ash? None of his siblings knew of his position though. And that burnt more than any fire. ❝𝑰'𝒎 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖...❞ 𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐆, perfect, glass child. With her older sisters being prominent, Caoimhes death and Lizzie's struggles, she strived to become the best. As Lizzie broke down regularly Isabella aced tests just so her mother and father didn't have to bat an eye. But beneath the surface she was as cold as ice. She needed attention, yearned for it. And no one would give it to her. Of course she adored her older sister but what would it take for a well done? Too much? Too little? What else could she do. She may have escaped the claws of Mark Allen, but something else had already grasped her. And there wasn't any getting out. ❝𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒆, 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓.❞ When two souls collide, perhaps not of the same situation but with a mutual understanding, perhaps they can mend eachother, when thought it ought to never be fixed. But who can tell? Who can 𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒖𝒑𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒖𝒓?
