Alexia's icy professionalism and untouchable presence have always made her a legend in the sport. Now, she's been assigned as Camilla's mentor. Under Alexia's harsh guidance, Camilla is pushed to her breaking point, but as their fierce rivalry intensifies, so does something else, an undeniable attraction. Rivalry. Jealousy. Desire.

When 19-year-old Rumi Castillo gets the call she's been dreaming of - a promotion from Barça Femení B to the senior team - her world changes overnight. New stadiums. New expectations. New eyes watching her every move. But none capture her attention quite like Alexia Putellas - the captain, the icon, the woman everyone looks up to. What begins as admiration quickly turns into something deeper: a quiet, magnetic pull neither of them saw coming. In the city where football is religion, and love can feel like the most dangerous game of all, Rumi will have to learn how to play with her heart on the line. A story of ambition, temptation, and the thin line between hero worship and something far more dangerous.

Amalia Casper is the fashion world's newest obsession-beautiful, untouchable, and rumored to be as cold as the runways she owns. She's spent years building walls higher than the stages she walks, and she has one iron rule: never get involved with women who play games-on the field or off it. Then she meets Leah Williamson. England's golden captain. London's favorite heartbreaker. The woman who can ruin Amalia's composure with a single glance. Their first encounter is a disaster-sharp words, hotter looks, and enough tension to set the paparazzi on fire. Their second is worse. Their third? A spark that turns into a collision neither of them can walk away from. Leah is intensity wrapped in charm, a storm Amalia never planned for. Amalia is danger disguised as elegance, the one woman Leah can't control, can't figure out... and can't stop wanting. Fame amplifies everything. Jealousy becomes toxic. Secrets become weapons. And their chemistry becomes impossible to hide. As passion blurs into obsession and feelings hit harder than any tackle, they're forced to choose between desire and destruction-because loving each other might ruin everything, but walking away might ruin them more.

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.

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.

They've been inseparable since they were seven - Leah, the bold girl with a football at her feet and the world on her shoulders, and her quieter counterpart, the one who always knew when Leah needed a moment of silence more than a speech. From playground games to national stadiums, failed relationships to milestone moments, their lives have twisted and grown in tandem - but never quite together. Now in their late twenties, both tired of love that never quite fit, they're still each other's favourite person. And it's enough. It always has been. Until a wedding. A toast. A bottle of wine too many. And a kiss. One kiss that starts unravelling everything they thought they knew - about themselves, about each other, and about the years between them. Told with quiet yearning and slow-burn intimacy, The Years Between Us is a tender exploration of friendship, loyalty, and the kind of love that was always there - just waiting to be seen. 🚨Mature Content 18+🚨

"A lover? Maybe. Something tender, anyway. But tender like a bruise." Rio will do anything to carve her path into the football world. Alexia must reignite her passion for the very sport that once tore her apart. Their meeting will create ripples... and waves.

At twenty-four, Ellie O'Connell has fought harder than most to make it in football. Partially deaf since childhood, she's spent years learning to read the game in her own way-through instinct, timing, and sheer resilience. Talent has never been her problem; being underestimated always has. When Arsenal offers her the chance of a lifetime, Ellie knows she belongs-but she also knows the Women's Super League spotlight will test every weakness she's worked so hard to hide. Leah Williamson, Arsenal's unshakable captain, doesn't believe in weakness. Stone-faced and disciplined, Leah leads with an iron will, never allowing herself to falter-on or off the pitch. To Ellie, she's everything untouchable: a role model, a wall, a woman impossible to impress. But as the season unfolds, Leah starts to notice the quiet strength behind Ellie's guarded exterior. And Ellie, in turn, discovers that even the toughest leaders have their own cracks, their own silences. What begins as respect grows into something far more dangerous: a slow-burning, impossible-to-ignore connection that threatens to break through every wall they've built. A story of resilience, trust, and the unexpected ways love can be heard-even in the quiet.

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+🚨
