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?

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

Spotlight & Silverware
Fresh from captaining England to their historic Euros victory, Leah Williamson should be revelling in the moment. The parades, the interviews, the celebration at Buckingham Palace-she's the face of a nation's triumph, the captain whose name is on everyone's lips. Ashley West has no intention of being there. A rising star on the West End stage, she's been dragged to the Palace celebrations by her best friend Emma, reluctantly swapping rehearsals and quiet evenings for a world of roaring football fans and champagne flutes. She plans to stay at the edges, unseen, until the night is over. Then, by sheer chance, Leah nearly collides with her outside the Palace gates. A tangle of apologies, a shared laugh, and a glance that lingers far too long for two strangers. Leah is captivated-by Ashley's warmth, by her refusal to be dazzled by fame, by the way she feels like a breath of calm in a night full of chaos. As Leah's world hurtles forward in a whirlwind of media demands and Ashley's in the unforgiving spotlight of the stage, they find themselves meeting in the spaces between-late-night conversations, stolen coffees, quiet corners where the rest of the world can't reach them. But with their lives pulling them in opposite directions, can a footballer bound by the pitch and a performer bound by the stage find a way to write a love story that lasts beyond the final whistle?Complete
Hearts In The Fast Lane

They meet by accident - a stolen glance across a stadium, a follow on Instagram, a bold message neither of them expects to change everything. What begins as teasing banter and stolen moments soon spirals into something deeper: voice notes at midnight, custom football boots engraved with initials, and a little family who thinks Leah might just be magic. But as the world watches them chase gold, records, and greatness - Leah and Sam have to navigate something far more terrifying than elite sport: falling in love, for real. A slow-burn, sports romance filled with chaos, tenderness, and the kind of love that changes everything - even the finish line.Complete

Hot Off The Press
Leah Williamson doesn't do journalists. To her, they're all the same - relentless, nosey, and willing to twist anything for a headline. She's spent years keeping every reporter at arm's length, never letting any of them see more than the polite smile she wears on camera. Except Amy Perk. Amy is the one exception - the only journalist every footballer seems to love, and the only one Leah can actually stand. Sharp, warm, and annoyingly good at disarming her, Amy has a way of asking the questions Leah never lets anyone close enough to ask. But when Leah becomes entangled in an incident that could derail her career if the press ever finds out, Amy is the last person she should trust - and the only person she wants to. What starts as a cautious friendship begins to blur into something far more dangerous: late-night meetings, stolen glances, and a connection Leah knows could cost them both everything. Now Leah has to decide - protect her secret, or risk it all for the one person she swore she'd never fall for.Complete
