Everyday I'll love you //Williamson
Second book of the story "One Day I'll Have it All" After three years of fiery love, one catastrophic fight shatters the lives of Leah and Valentina, sending them on separate paths neither wanted to walk. With Leah remaining in London, the captain of her beloved Arsenal, and Valentina making a new home in Barcelona, they attempt to rebuild their lives-alone, yet haunted by each other's absence. For Valentina, Barcelona is a fresh start but also a relentless reminder of what she left behind. A city of beauty and promise quickly becomes a hollow shell as guilt, heartbreak, and memories of Leah follow her at every turn. On the pitch, her new teammates see the rising star she's meant to be, but Valentina struggles to connect-to her team, her city, and herself. Leah, on the other hand, buries her heartbreak under a mask of control, her days filled with leadership, matches, and a whisky glass at night. The world sees Arsenal's unshakable captain, but her walls begin to crack as she wrestles with jealousy, unresolved anger, and a love that refuses to fade. As both women navigate the scars of their past, they find their lives intersecting in unexpected ways-through mutual friends, international tournaments, and the cruel irony of a Champions League draw. Old wounds reopen, and unresolved feelings threaten to surface, forcing them to question whether love alone can bridge the growing distance between them.Complete

Unbreakable
Alex McCabe is a force of nature. A powerhouse in midfield for Arsenal Women and the Ireland Women's National Team, she is known for her brutal strength, unmatched skill, and an attitude that makes even the fiercest of opponents think twice before crossing her. Built like a brick wall from relentless hours in the gym, her body is a canvas of ink, tattoos covering her from head to toe, each one telling a story she rarely shares. Her presence alone is enough to silence a room. Her reputation? Infamous. Fearless on the pitch and reckless off it, Alex has long lived a life of no consequences. She moves through the world as if nothing can touch her, and maybe nothing ever has. Every nightclub is her hunting ground, every woman she meets a potential conquest. She doesn't do love. She doesn't do attachments. And she definitely doesn't do guilt. Cheating, lying, and running from emotions? That's all just part of the Alex McCabe experience. Because when you're one of the best footballers in the world, people look the other way. Her teammates know her as an enigma, someone they admire for her skill but fear for her unpredictability. Everyone keeps their distance-except for two people: Katie McCabe, her older sister and the only person who has ever truly known her, and Leah Williamson, England captain and Arsenal's golden girl, who knows every inch of Alex's body just as well as she knows her own. Alex and Leah's relationship is complicated-if you can even call it a relationship. It's sex. It's comfort. It's late nights after games, tangled sheets, and bodies pressed together in the dark. It's something unspoken, something that neither of them acknowledges when the sun rises. They don't talk about it, because talking would make it real, and real is something Alex has never been good at handling. Leah understands that. She never asks for more. She never expects anything. That's why it works.Complete

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.Complete
