Sometimes to feel comfortable, one must experience a little discomfort and for Eva Valtersen, that was exactly what she needed. After being recruited in the Summer of 2021, the 21-year-old Norwegian midfielder decided to leave the comfort of her home country and make the move to her dream club in England, Manchester City.
At City, Eva soon settles, finding new routines and traditions that fit around the noise in her head, and hurt in her heart. Through newfound friendships with Hayley Raso, Georgia Stanway and Keira Walsh, as well as frequent international breaks and tournaments with her best friends, Ingrid Engen, Guro Reiten, and Frida Maanum, Eva finds her supposed peace.
That is until a derby match between the two Manchester teams rocks her newfound comfort. After the unexpected meeting with Ona Batlle, her world changes. Her mind changes. Ona brings out something in Eva that she thought was never possible: peace.
In the mean time, Eva is there for Ingrid, while she is developing her own romance with the Spanish centre back, Mapi Leon, as she lives her life in Barcelona.
Throughout all of this, Eva's brain continues to tick. Why did she consider her intrusive thoughts to be calming? Why was this all happening to her brain? And how come Ona was the only person who could make her feel better again?
This Is Me Trying is a story about love, forgiveness and mental health, representing how the mind can truely affect the heart.

The Article ~ A.R
"This article would be huge, but I couldn't do that to her.. Could I?" Evelyn Sayers was just a plain journalist. Well, plain in her mind. She couldn't care less about the things she wrote about however she needed the money and she was a brilliant writer. She was interviewing players before the 2023/24 WSL season begins, and she meets a new transfer to Arsenal. What will happen when she gets to know the transfer a little better... She wasn't ready for a relationship, she thought they both knew that going in. But life suprises you, in many different ways. I'm not great at descriptions sorry! Read the book though. The songs that I most associate with this book are 'With or without you' By U2 and 'Can't help falling in love' By Elvis! My first language is German so apologies if there are any spelling or grammar errors, I do proof read but it's not foolproof.Concluida

I prefer to live through the romance stories I weave and post online. Hardly anyone reads my books, even if they're free, but I do have one fan, and he's supported me since I started writing two years ago. Except, my writing started to take a depressing dive when I realized that you simply couldn't prevent nor protect your heart from falling for someone. For him. For the one who had no interest in me. When I fell in love with him, I thought we had a chance. It was an accident. Turned out, I couldn't be more wrong. He doesn't want me, and I wasn't supposed to have him. It didn't matter if he showed up in the bookstore every day, talking to everyone else except me. Nor did it matter at all because he didn't know sign language. He couldn't learn. We couldn't communicate. But after I go on a date and it ends in putrid disaster, he makes his appearance known, and he's angry. Then he's doing things for me that confuse me. My stories are filling up with pages of content, dreams that I want to come true, and my mystery commenter encourages me to continue-to reach my happiness. To take what I want. But the activities planned start sparking familiarity-like I lived it before, or maybe dreamed it. Or maybe, just maybe, I'd written it before? My mind is spiraling, but I can't stop myself from getting closer and closer to him. I'm not supposed to have him, but my heart craves him. Sage Monroe, I'm in love with you, and I'm scared now because I have a feeling that you've been communicating with me in more ways than one.Concluida

Fire and La Reina
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.Concluida
