Professional footballer Morgan Porter has just suffered the biggest disappointment of her career. Exhausted by the spotlight and craving peace, she escapes London for a quiet retreat in Devon-only to stumble upon something she never expected: hope. When she literally crosses paths with Ellie Whitmore, a compassionate nurse with deep local roots, their worlds collide in a burst of awkward encounters, cozy seaside walks, and an instant emotional spark.
But as Morgan's three-week break nears its end, both women have to face reality. Ellie is tethered to her family and the hospital that relies on her, while Morgan's life is defined by high-profile matches and media scrutiny. Navigating the gap between a bustling city career and a small-town calling forces them to confront lingering fears, outside pressures, and a daunting question: Are love and trust enough to overcome the challenges of distance and fame?

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
