Cold Nights, Warm Hearts
9-year-old Lily is an Arsenal academy player with a quiet passion for football and a past she'd rather forget. Trapped in an abusive foster care home in North London and grieving the loss of her father to cancer, Lily walks alone through life - and to training - with no one truly in her corner. Until one freezing night changes everything. After running away from yet another brutal confrontation at home, she's found shivering in a park by none other than Leah Williamson - the England captain and Lily's childhood hero. Taken in for the night, Lily finds herself wrapped in a warmth she hasn't felt in years. But healing doesn't come easy. As Leah becomes more than just a temporary shelter, Lily must learn to trust, to speak, and eventually, to believe in the kind of love that feels like home. A slow-burning, emotional journey of pain, recovery, and the unbreakable bond that forms between two hearts - one lost, and one willing to help her find the way back.Complete
