Halfway Line
Isla Byrne has spent her whole life balancing on the halfway line, between Scotland, Ireland, and England; between family and independence, between who she is and who people expect her to be. As the youngest sister of Ruesha Littlejohn and Shebahn Aherne, Isla's used to the spotlight finding her, even when she doesn't ask for it. Between her growing career at Arsenal and the sisters' popular podcast, there's not much in her life that isn't public knowledge, except maybe the reason she avoids talking about love. When Arsenal face Barcelona in the Champions League, Isla's name starts trending for reasons that have nothing to do with football. A harmless TikTok, a few suspiciously timed interviews, and one unexpected connection across the pitch soon have fans speculating. But Isla's sure of one thing, she's not about to become someone's headline. Until she starts to wonder if, maybe this time, she wants to be. 30.07.2000
Rivals at Heart Erin Cuthbert
Heather Campbell plays for Celtic. Erin Cuthbert wears the blue of Rangers. Raised on opposite sides of the divide, their hatred for each other runs deep not because of who they are, but because of what their clubs represent. But everything changes when they're called up to the Scotland national team at 18. Forced to train, travel, and play side by side, animosity slowly gives way to understanding... and something far more dangerous: love.

Fierce competitors on the pitch, fiercely in love off it, their world explodes when a brutal tackle in a high-stakes match leaves one injured and the other red-carded. Now, with fans watching their every move and teammates questioning their loyalty, Heather and Erin must decide: can love really survive when everything else is at war?Complete
She blocks, I blush
Alessia Russo knows the golden rule of Lioness camp: don't fall for the captain. Too late. Ever since that first call-up, Arsenal's golden girl Leah Williamson has had Alessia flustered, flattered, and totally floored - not that Leah has a clue. Calm, collected, and totally out of her league, Leah is everything Alessia's not: composed, commanding... and completely off-limits. Especially now. With a headline-making transfer from Manchester United to Arsenal looming, Alessia's about to become Leah's teammate. And if crushing on your national team captain is bad, pining for your club captain is basically career suicide. At least Ella Toone thinks it's hilarious. As training intensifies and lines blur between banter and something softer, Alessia must decide whether staying quiet is safer - or if risking it all for the one girl who makes her heart race might just be the best goal she's ever scored.Complete

Worlds Apart
They met by accident...by chance. The campus of UNC was busy that day. Everyone was in a hurry. Especially the two juniors that would collide and ultimately change their lives. Brooklyn Morgan, a talented but struggling singer-songwriter, whose soulful lyrics go merely unnoticed in a world full of big artists. For Brooklyn, the bar stages are small, the paychecks are meager, and the future seems uncertain. But she clings to her music in hopes it'll be worth one day. Across campus, you could find Alessia Russo on the field every day. An England native was living the American dream. She had everything going for her. She was a part of England's under-21 squad, on the verge of making her senior debut, and huge clubs were looking at her to sign. One morning though, one was in a rush to get to her class and one was in a rush to get to practice, they run into each other. Something about the clumsy English girl took Brooklyn by surprise, and something about the American made Alessia's head spin. It's from there on, a connection is made. Their lives of now sitting in the stands and sitting in the crowd forms. However, when Alessia forgoes her senior year to play in England, the connection they had fades and they become a small memory to each other. But what happens when Brooklyn's finally selling out stadiums and one of them happens to be Wembley? What happens when they meet each other again for the first time in two years? What happens when the connection they had runs deeper than they first thought originally? What happens when they're right next to each other but feel as though they're worlds apart?Complete
