Fake It Till We Make It
Maeve Linton's transfer from Manchester United to Arsenal was supposed to be a fresh start - new city, new teammates, and no unnecessary drama. Two years on, her career is thriving... but her personal life is a mess, thanks to her parents' relentless questions about her love life. In a moment of desperation, Maeve blurts out that she's already seeing someone. And when they press for details, she drags in the only person she trusts enough to fake it with - her best friend and teammate, Leah Williamson. Leah agrees, because that's what best friends do. They hold hands at family dinners, post the occasional carefully-staged photo, and laugh through awkward questions. But the longer they play pretend, the less it feels like acting. Jokes turn into late-night confessions. Staged kisses feel alarmingly real. And suddenly, Maeve and Leah are caught in a game neither of them prepared for. With the season heating up and feelings threatening to derail everything, the two must figure out if they're willing to risk their friendship for something more - or if love, like football, sometimes requires the boldest moves of all.Complete

Now in their late twenties, both tired of love that never quite fit, they're still each other's favourite person. And it's enough. It always has been. Until a wedding. A toast. A bottle of wine too many. And a kiss. One kiss that starts unravelling everything they thought they knew - about themselves, about each other, and about the years between them. Told with quiet yearning and slow-burn intimacy, The Years Between Us is a tender exploration of friendship, loyalty, and the kind of love that was always there - just waiting to be seen. 🚨Mature Content 18+🚨Complete
