Rising Stories

Kingsport FC are supposed to be finished. They limp into the final stretch of the season as underdogs, facing stronger squads, hostile stadiums, and the crushing pressure of a promotion race that could define the club's future. Then eighteen-year-old Evan Mercer, an overlooked midfielder with elite vision, composure, and a deadly touch on set pieces, gets his chance. What starts as one bold move in a must-win match quickly changes everything. Head coach Daniel Hayes begins to build around Evan's intelligence in midfield, and Kingsport transform from a team trying to survive into one capable of hurting the favorites. But talent alone won't be enough. Waiting for them is Lionheart FC-a powerful, heavily funded side expected to steamroll its way into the top flight. As the playoff battle intensifies, every match becomes a test of nerve, discipline, and belief. Evan has to outthink veteran opponents, handle brutal pressure, and earn the trust of teammates who know exactly how much is on the line. One mistake could end Kingsport's dream. One breakthrough could change Evan's career forever. In a game where money talks and reputations decide everything, Kingsport have only one real weapon left: the player nobody saw coming.

Where there's a will, there's a wave. The only thing closed-off Alex Miller and popular Nicholas Townsend have in common is a love of surfing, books, the ocean and a knack for quick, fiery comebacks. Despite this, Nick's determined to get to know the real Alex. After putting their differences past them and becoming close friends, Alex begins falling for Nick. But he's harboring secrets, and she begins to wonder just what he's keeping from her. *** When Nicholas Townsend strolled into Alex Miller's state high school, the only thing she was obliged to do was stay out of his way - a feat which she didn't imagine to be difficult in the slightest - but when he seems insistent on sitting next to her in biology, she finds her goal much harder to accomplish. Despite the fact that it's Alex's senior year - a year that brings with it both final exams and the national championship surfing competition - she can't get her head around Nick's constant presence. After all, who'd want to be friends with the turbulent, unlikable, ever-loner, Alex Miller? But before she knows it, she's falling for him - and fast.
