At fourteen, Mara Kellett knows two things better than anyone: how to survive, and how to beat anyone in a one-v-one. Most nights, she sleeps lightly in the tiny Rochdale flat she shares with her addicted mother and whatever boyfriend happens to be hanging around that month. Bruises fade. Split lips heal. Cigarette burns don't. Mara learned a long time ago that adults don't protect you - they leave, lie, hurt you, or all three. So she trusts no one. Not teachers. Not social workers. Not foster carers. Only the football at her feet. On the estate, Mara and her two best mates hustle strangers for cash with a battered portable goal and a simple challenge: beat her in a one-v-one if you can. Nobody ever can. Not the college boys. Not the Sunday League dads. Not the cocky academy kids who think she'll be easy because she's small and a girl. Then one afternoon, a crowd forms. And among the crowd are professional footballers. What starts as a street bet changes everything. Suddenly, clubs are fighting to sign her. Coaches call her a generational talent. England wants to build a future around her. But talent doesn't erase trauma, and Mara carries her past onto every pitch she steps on. Angry, defensive, and terrified of depending on anyone, she pushes away every person trying to help her - even the teammates who slowly become the family she never had. But when an arrest drags her back into the care system and threatens to destroy the only future she's ever wanted, Mara has to decide whether survival means staying alone... or finally letting people in.

Ava Torres, captain of Stanford's women's soccer team, has one goal in mind for her senior year: win the championship and go out on top. She's focused, disciplined, and completely uninterested in distractions. Riley Bennett, captain of the women's basketball team, seems determined to be one. Teasing Ava has become her favorite pastime - harmless, playful... until it isn't. Because somewhere between the banter, the late-night talks, and the almost-kisses, Riley starts to realize the truth she's been trying to laugh off for years - she doesn't just like getting under Ava's skin. She wants her. And when lines start to blur between rivalry and something undeniably real, both girls have to decide whether to keep pretending... or risk everything for what's been building between them all along.

In a dystopian world where homosexuality isn't legal in England, Lauren Fletcher is an inmate in Holloway Women's Prison. Officially, she is classified as a dangerous offender. Unofficially, everyone knows the truth. Her real crime is being gay. Isolated from the general population, housed alone, watched more closely than murderers and gang leaders, Lauren has become a ghost within the prison's walls. She keeps to herself, speaks to almost nobody, and survives each day through a stubborn refusal to break. The authorities insist her segregation is for security reasons. Lauren knows it is punishment. Outside the prison, the government continues its relentless campaign against anyone accused of "sexual deviance," turning neighbours into informants and fear into law. Inside, Lauren has become something even more threatening than a prisoner. A symbol. When the England women's national football team arrives at Holloway as part of a state-approved outreach programme, Lauren expects another day of propaganda and humiliation. Instead, she catches the attention of England captain Leah Williamson, who is startled to discover that the silent inmate standing apart from everyone else possesses an extraordinary talent for football. What begins as curiosity slowly develops into something far more dangerous. As Leah learns the truth about Lauren's imprisonment, she is forced to confront the reality of the society she has spent her entire life serving. Meanwhile, Lauren finds herself facing a challenge she never anticipated: allowing herself to trust someone when trust has always been used against her.
