Leah has been away from the pitch due to an ACL tear at the end of last season. During her time away Arsenal had signed a new, very promising centre back, Cassie. When Leah returns, there is some rivalry for the position. Little did Cassie know, there would be no dropping Arsenal's sweetheart from the starting eleven once she was fully fit.
The tension between them is not healthy with a few off the pitch arguments and heated discussions between Cassie and the coaching staff which Leah forced to be part of. Opting for a back seat on this drama she is forced to the front row as Cassie doesn't want seem to want to uninvolved the England captain.

Could Leah and Cassie find a healthy rivalry?
How would Cassie feel with the unwanted welcome Leah had in her life now?
What is the temptation Leah can't seem to stay away from?
