Olivia Brown never expected to find herself at Arsenal. The fiery midfielder thought she knew exactly who Katie McCabe was-an opponent, a rival, a thorn in her side. Their on-pitch clashes were infamous, their tension undeniable. But when Olivia transfers to Arsenal, everything changes.

Katie has always played with her heart on her sleeve, but nothing prepared her for Olivia. The girl she once sparred with is now her teammate, sharing her locker room, her training sessions... and, to Katie's dismay, her thoughts.

As the lines between rivalry and something deeper begin to blur, Olivia and Katie are forced to confront their feelings. But love is never easy-especially when trust is tested and misunderstandings threaten to tear them apart.

Will they overcome the odds and fight for each other, or will the walls they've built keep them apart forever?All Rights Reserved

Control the chaos // McCabe by inkedlover

Alexia Mercier thrives on precision. As a world-class goalkeeper, she's built her career on focus, discipline, and an unyielding need for control. But when she transfers to Arsenal, the electrifying energy of her new team-and their larger-than-life personalities-threatens to disrupt her carefully maintained calm. Thrown into a squad as dynamic off the pitch as they are on it, Alexia struggles to adapt to a world of constant noise, relentless camaraderie, and a pressure to not just play but also connect. Her fiery new teammate, Katie McCabe, is the embodiment of that chaos-unpredictable, bold, and utterly unapologetic. As Alexia tries to find balance in a world that thrives on spontaneity, she'll discover that sometimes, losing control might be the key to finding what really matters.

When London calls by Charliegreen20

Logan's dream trip to London was supposed to be about sightseeing, football, and a little adventure. But one stadium, one fleeting glance, and one stuttered "hi" changes everything. From Arsenal matches to quiet streets, late-night pubs, and endless cups of coffee, she finds herself caught between the thrill of the city and the pull of someone she never expected to meet. With a squad of fierce footballers, cheeky banter, and unexpected late-night texts, Logan navigates friendships, flirtations, and the kind of tension that makes your heart race. Between stolen smiles, moments of awkward hilarity, and the intensity of professional sports life, she discovers that some connections can't be ignored - no matter how far apart they seem. Will she leave London with just memories, or will the city, the game, and one unforgettable defender change everything? Book 2 out

The Florist on Finchley Lane by WSLreader

Katie McCabe doesn't believe in fate - she believes in training, hard work, and not letting anyone get close enough to break you. But when she forgets her cousin's birthday, a last-minute dash into a flower shop changes everything. Nell Carter has seen all kinds of customers, but none quite like the Irish whirlwind who crashes through her door demanding "something that says 'I didn't forget your birthday, I just have commitment issues.'" It's meant to be a one-off. But Katie keeps coming back. At first for flowers. Then for the calm. Then for Nell. And Nell? She knows better than to fall for someone whose entire life is lived in the spotlight. But Katie - chaotic, fierce, unexpectedly kind - is like sun on soil Nell didn't know needed tending.

Crayons and Crossbars by WSLreader

Rosie is a reception teacher who prefers picture books to match days and glitter glue to goalposts. Her world is quiet, gentle, and blissfully football-free-until a chance encounter with a loud, unapologetic Irish player turns everything on its head. Katie McCabe lives for the game. Arsenal star, Ireland captain, chaos personified-she's used to winning on the pitch and charming off it. But when Rosie doesn't recognise her, doesn't care who she is or what she's won, Katie finds herself unexpectedly intrigued. One teaches four-year-olds how to share. The other kicks people for a living. Neither expects to collide. Neither expects to care. Set between the classroom and the stadium, this is a story about finding connection in unlikely places, learning each other's language, and what happens when quiet meets chaos.
