More than friends
* A short story * Patrick Carrigan has always been the steady one - on the field, in the locker room, in life. But the one thing he's never had under control is Bianca Hewett. She's been there from the start: his first crush at sixteen, his best friend through school, his anchor during his Broncos debut, his first call after every win and every loss. They swore to stay just friends, too young and too scared to risk what they had. But years of stolen glances, almost-confessions, and late-night promises can only hold back the truth for so long. When Bianca leaves Brisbane for a career-making placement in Sydney, distance pushes them to the edge. A kiss at the airport shatters their pact, texts they can't take back deepen the crack, and suddenly, friendship isn't enough. Now, with the spotlight of the fans, the weight of Patty's career, and Bianca's own dream job on the line, they have to decide: will love finally be their first call... or the one call that costs them everything?Complete
Through the Posts and Into My Heart
Danielle Carrigan has spent her entire life on the sidelines - first as the little sister of Broncos star Pat Carrigan, and now as the club's team photographer and content creator. She knows footy like the back of her hand, capturing every try, every tackle, and every heartbreak through her lens. But behind the camera, her life is far from just work. Dating winger Jesse Arthars means early mornings filled with coffee and sleepy kisses, quiet nights on the couch after big games, and navigating the pressure of NRL life together. Their love is soft, simple, and deeply real - but when injuries, media scrutiny, and family pressures mount, they'll learn that sometimes the hardest tackles aren't on the field. A story of late-night drives, sideline glances, locker room banter, and finding home in someone's arms

A series of deeply personal profile pieces designed to humanize the league's most elusive player. Jack expects an interrogation; Katelyn expects a brick wall. Instead, every late-night interview unravels a little more of his defenses.

Waves [D.M]
"Waves," the first book in the AFL series, plunges readers into a raw and heartbreaking narrative. A soul lies in ruins, shattered by betrayal. The once-bright life, filled with light and hope, now consumed by darkness. The wound deepened not by strangers, but by those who were supposed to be a sanctuary-family. Love was conditional, granted only when it suited them, only when wealth entered the picture through marriage. Instead of healing, their greed drove the soul further into despair. The warmth of the sun, the comfort of a smile, the promise of tomorrow-these have become distant memories. Abandoned by the ones meant to protect, the soul is lost in an abyss, wondering if the light will ever be seen again.Complete
