OFFSIDE by annakaspian19

When Alana moves back to England and takes a job with a Premier League team, the last thing she's expecting is to be reunited with Garrett - her childhood friend and the star of the team who's suddenly very attractive. ... Once she's graduated university, Alana Clarke moves back to where she grew up for her first job as the social media manager for Wakefield FC. While the atmosphere initially seems less than ideal, thanks to a mildly annoying boss, things start looking up when she reconnects with one of the players, an old classmate of hers. Alana knows she isn't supposed to date within the club, but things start piling up in her life and this might just be the perfect distraction. Garrett Bancroft is at a career high. Despite Wakefield's iffy record, he's being scouted by other teams in the Prem - and a few across the globe. Everything is working out perfectly until public attention isn't the only thing he attracts and the club's new hire catches his eye. Although Garrett's performance last season yielded a number of personal records, his mental state was at an all-time low, so a good relationship may be just what he needs. As stated by the league, club staff are highly discouraged from dating players, but Alana can't seem to avoid Garrett's charm. However, hiding their relationship turns out to be a bigger challenge than expected. As Alana begins to make enemies within the club, gossip is leaked about Garrett, and nobody to back them up, the two worry they might just be getting ahead of themselves. Unless they can get someone in their corner, both of their careers might be in jeopardy. How much is too much to risk for love?

Irresistible Deception by Moonlighton245

Deception is an irresistible thing. It shows you how far you're willing to go to get what you want. It shows you what you want to see, but in the end; it leaves you with nothing to hold. An illusion to take pleasure in but make you question reality itself. BLAIR ANDERSON is quite a...strange girl. Despite the mistreatment and emotional neglect from her parents, she believes that deep inside everyone, there's always good. Because of her too trusting nature and her desire for love and affection she never received, it may lead to her ruination when she meets AMEO ADLER, who can be too...calm in frightening situations, for a lack of a better word. He's someone with an insatiable, dangerous appetite that he tries to hide from her. He would go lengths to prove to her how much she means to him, but to what extreme will he do that? Should there be a limit until it's becomes destructive? She will quickly realise that Ameo isn't what he deems himself to be; whether it's a good or a bad thing. She will soon learn that there's a frail, delicate line between protective and possessive; attraction and obsession; the admiration for someone and the desire to own one's being. She will later understand that not everyone who saves you is your guardian angel; and that sometimes, the devil does the saving instead. What happens when he enters her heart bit by bit? And after she falls into his love trap, perfectly made for her, will everything change? Just what could ever go wrong when a fiery rendezvous ignites between a gullible woman and an artful man? Nothing. Right? *Disclaimer! MATURE Content* Read this with caution, as it might be too much for some readers. If you can't handle it, it's best to stop for your sake because a lot of...things are going to happen in this story. <In Wattpad> Published: 12.02.2022 Finished: 12.05.2023 Ranks: #1 gaslighting #1 twisted #2 dark love #2 suspicion #3 deception #3 imprisonment #4 gamble #4 illusion #4 mania [Original Story]
