Breakaway

Lila Montgomery thought she had her life figured out - a girlfriend she adored, a team she loved, and a future she could picture so clearly. But everything shatters the night she discovers Mia, her girlfriend and teammate, has been cheating on her.

Breakups are hard.
Breakups with someone you still have to see at training every morning? Brutal.

Lila tries to stay professional, holding herself together while Mia acts like nothing happened. Her smile gets smaller, her mornings colder, and the spark she once carried dims. The girls notice - but Kyra Cooney-Cross notices most.

Kyra has always been the closest to her. The one who sits beside her on away trips, the one who knows her coffee order, the one who can read her moods before she even speaks. So when Lila's world falls apart, Kyra is the one who steps in.

At first, it's innocent: late-night check-ins, making sure Lila eats, offering her spare clothes when Lila forgets hers because her mind is elsewhere.
But soon Kyra is always there - on Lila's couch at 1 AM watching trash TV, standing beside her on the training pitch when Mia's presence gets too heavy, driving her home after bad days, holding her just a little too close for "just teammates."

And slowly, carefully, Lila starts to feel again.
Starts to breathe again.
Starts to crave the warmth Kyra brings.

But with Mia still on the team - watching, jealous, guilty, trying to insert herself back into Lila's routine - the line between heartbreak, healing, and forbidden desire blurs fast.

Is Lila ready to fall again?
And how long can Kyra hide just how much she's willing to risk for her?

A story about betrayal inside the same locker room, messy emotions, teammates becoming something more, and the softest love blooming where it's least expected.
