Father Figure | LEAH WILLIAMSON
At seventeen, Freya Cole is living her dream. A call-up to Arsenal's senior squad and a surprise England debut put her on the fast track to stardom. But behind the headlines and highlight reels, Freya is still a girl far from home - fiercely independent, quietly lonely, and unsure where she truly belongs. When a single mistake off the pitch changes everything, Freya's future begins to unravel. Suddenly, the world that once adored her feels impossibly small and judgmental. Enter Leah Williamson, Arsenal's captain and England's leader - calm, steady, and protective. What starts as mentorship soon becomes something deeper: a bond that feels like family. As Freya faces the hardest season of her life, Leah stands beside her, teaching her that strength isn't just about goals and glory - it's about getting back up when life knocks you down. A story about football, found family, and the courage to begin again, Father Figure explores how love can take unexpected forms - and how sometimes, the people we least expect become the ones who hold us together.Complete
Offside Heart
When Frederike-Gabriella Roord Ferra arrives in London with her golden-haired daughter Rose and loyal golden retriever Leo, she's hoping for a quiet visit with her half-sister - Manchester City's Dutch midfielder, Jill Roord. But her trip takes an unexpected turn when three-year-old Rose bolts into a busy East London café... straight into the middle of the Arsenal Women's team on a pre-match activation walk. Chaos unfolds. Beth Mead barely has time to register the blonde toddler before the girl's mother storms in - and collides headfirst into the chest of Arsenal captain Leah Williamson. Sparks fly. Literally. Leah can't shake the moment. Not the wild-eyed beauty with the fierce accent, not the laughing toddler, not even the golden retriever who somehow managed to steal a muffin mid-scramble. Three days later, fate kicks in again when Rike and Rose appear pitchside at Arsenal's clash with Manchester City - there to cheer on Jill, who's flanked by fellow Dutch internationals Kerstin Casparij and Vivianne Miedema... Beth Mead's girlfriend. Torn between family loyalty and unexpected chemistry, Rike finds herself pulled into two very different worlds - and into the orbit of a woman who is as grounded as she is guarded. Leah, known for her composure on the pitch, is anything but steady when it comes to Rike. With Rose stealing everyone's heart (and Leo sneaking into players-only zones), the lines between rivalry and romance begin to blur. But with Jill watching closely, secrets Rike hasn't shared, and the pressures of public lives - can two women on opposite sides of the pitch find common ground in the heart?Complete

Fermín didn't expect any of those things either but soon found himself in the middle of something he didn't fully understand. But he knew one thing, he wanted to help Lorena. And it turned out the only way he could think of helping her was by doing something he thought only happened in movies or books. But now, it was happening to them too.
