Lionesses Stories

Ava's world shifts before she's ready for it to. What should have been an ordinary day becomes something heavier, something she can't un-feel or un-know. Her mum has always been her anchor: balancing life, football, and parenthood with a strength Ava never questioned. But this time, Ava isn't sure how to tell her what's weighing on her chest. As panic turns into truths she's not ready to speak aloud, the two of them find themselves standing on unfamiliar ground, revisiting fears that once belonged to Leah alone. Through quiet confessions, trembling honesty, and the kind of love that doesn't flinch, they begin to navigate the consequences of a single life-changing moment, together. Not ready. Not planned. But never alone.

After a heartbreak she never fully recovered from, love is the last thing on her mind. But Isla's form is impossible to ignore. Goals, assists, and quiet brilliance earn her a call up to the England squad, where club rivalries fade and one person refuses to. Leah Williamson was never meant to matter to her. Not as a rival.

Summer 2035. While Esmee prepares to leave for international duty at the World Cup, Leah is holding their home together: three children at different stages of growing up, a fourth quietly on the way, and a heart that's learning how to stretch again. Between school runs, supermarket aisles, midnight conversations, and moments that arrive unexpectedly heavy, Leah navigates motherhood, marriage, and the quiet courage of becoming someone new, again. This is a story about love that lasts, about family that grows in imperfect, beautiful ways, and about learning that doing your best is sometimes more than enough.

Cassie and Leah are no longer reaching for a future that feels just out of grasp. They are living inside it now: in a body changed by everything it has carried, in days shaped by recovery and adjustment, in nights that ask for patience rather than hope. This is a book about the unglamorous middle: about love that persists when adrenaline fades, when exhaustion settles in, when intimacy has to be relearned. About discovering who you are when the light doesn't blaze or grow, it simply remains, steady and demanding to be tended. Nothing is resolved neatly. Nothing is easy in the way it once was imagined. But this time, the light does not flicker or disappear. It stays.
