Behind Closed Doors
To the world, Leah Williamson is the calm, unshakable leader of Arsenal and England - but behind closed doors, she craves a different kind of escape. That's how she and Rachel end up tangled in sheets, again and again, in a wordless agreement that feelings aren't part of the deal. Rachel doesn't know much about Leah beyond the bruising kisses and the 3 a.m. exits - and for a while, that's enough. But the more nights they spend together, the harder it is to ignore the unspoken pull between them. When Rachel finally breaks the rules and starts asking questions, Leah retreats, guarded and unwilling to let anyone past her walls. What begins as a simple arrangement turns into something far more complicated: a battle between desire and fear, vulnerability and control. As secrets surface and boundaries blur, Rachel must decide if she can be patient with Leah's silence... or if loving someone who won't let her in will break her heart.Complete
Not the same
In the heart of London, three lives collide in the quiet space of an apartment that has become a sanctuary for the exhausted and the driven. Leah Williamson, a focused professional athlete, has spent years anchoring her life around the safety of those she loves, specifically the Fox sisters. But when Lexi, the brilliant but crumbling surgical resident, moves in, the carefully curated boundaries of their "chosen family" begin to fracture. As Lexi navigates the brutal, high-stakes world of trauma surgery, Leah finds herself stepping into a role she never anticipated-not just as a protector, but as the only person who can keep Lexi's world from spinning off its axis. But as the lines between duty, sisterly affection, and an undeniable, growing attraction blur, Leah realizes that the person she's sworn to shield might be the one thing she's powerless to resist. The Anchor and the Storm is a slow-burn, emotional drama about the weight of expectations, the fear of crossing the line, and the terrifying beauty of falling for the person you were always supposed to protect.Complete

Alexa Hart has one rule: never fall for someone who can ruin your life. Leah Williamson breaks that rule in about five seconds. After a disastrous first meeting, Alexa is convinced she and Leah are destined to hate each other forever. Leah - England captain, annoyingly charming, and far too good-looking for Alexa's peace of mind - seems to agree. But when a family wedding threatens to trap Alexa in a weekend of pitying looks and awkward questions, she does the unthinkable: she asks Leah to pretend to be her girlfriend. Leah says yes. Alexa immediately regrets everything. What starts as a fake relationship quickly becomes something messier, softer, and much more dangerous. Because the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to remember what's real and what's just for show. And Alexa's biggest fear isn't that everyone else will find out the truth - it's that she will. A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance inspired by Anyone But You, full of banter, tension, and the kind of chemistry you can't fake.Complete

Dean, Beau and the dying girl, Off Campus
Dean blinked, not understanding. Not fully. "Sick how?" Rosie pressed a hand to her chest. Pain flared beneath her palm. Sharp now. Wrong. "I'm sick," she repeated. Dean stepped forward immediately. "Okay. I'll take you home. You'll feel better tomorrow." The gentleness in his voice broke her. "No, Dean." Her knees weakened. Beau caught her elbow. "Rosie." She looked at them both through tears. For weeks, she had imagined telling them. Not like this. Never like this. Not in a bar with music pounding and her heart misfiring in her chest.

Forward | Rewind to Tomorrow [Michael Jackson]
"It causes your immune system to turn against you," I explained gently. The color terrifyingly drained from his face as he stared at his knuckles. "I have a spot," he whispered, his voice scraping like glass. "Right here." He let out a strangled noise as the stadium footage buffered. "Riley!" he shrieked, covering his burning face while peering through his fingers at his future self. "Those pants leave absolutely nothing to the imagination!" He went so unnaturally still I thought his heart had stopped beating. His charcoal-stained fingers curled into tight fists. "Fifty," he whispered, scanning the fatal summary on the glowing screen. "I am... I am gone at fifty." What if the only way to save your future was to completely abandon your past? In 1982, Michael Jackson is suffocating. Trapped behind his family's compound gates and drowning under industry pressure, the rising star just wants a life of peace and normalcy. The universe answers-violently ripping him from his timeline and dropping him onto the bedroom rug of Riley, a freelance graphic designer in the year 2025. Stranded forty-three years in the future, Michael must face a world that already knows his tragic history. But Riley fiercely refuses to let that history repeat. She offers him the anonymous, ordinary life he always craved, rebuilding his shattered confidence brick by brick and teaching him the radical concept of self-love. More importantly, she arms him with the ultimate weapon: the brutal truth. She gives him the exact names of the snakes hiding in his 1982 backyard, the upcoming betrayals, and the devastating tragedies he is destined to face. When the universe inevitably pulls him back, Michael is no longer the timid pop star terrified of his shadow. He is a king preparing to claim his throne, knowing exactly how to rewrite music history and what it takes to survive. But armed with the future, changing his fate might cost him the one person who taught him how to live.

Where recovery meets something real
When a brutal tackle sidelines Arsenal captain Leah Williamson, the last thing she expects is to be handed over to a new physical therapist - one who doesn't care about fame, headlines, or the weight of a captain's armband. You are calm where Leah is restless, steady where she is stubborn, and unafraid to call her out when she pushes too hard. You treat her like a person, not a project, and that alone disarms her more than any injury ever could. What begins as routine rehab slowly becomes something else: quiet conversations during ice baths, shared laughter in empty training rooms, late‑night check‑ins that turn into something softer. Leah finds herself opening up in ways she hasn't in years - about pressure, fear, and the loneliness that comes with being everyone's anchor. And you? You start to see the version of Leah no one else gets to see - the one who's gentle, funny, and desperate to heal more than just her knee. But as her return to the pitch gets closer, so does the line you're both trying not to cross. Because physios aren't supposed to fall for their players. And players aren't supposed to look at their physios like they're home. Still... some connections don't care about rules. And Leah Williamson has never been good at pretending she doesn't feel something real.Complete
House Rules - Beau Maxwell
Sloan DiLaurentis didn't mean to find a home in Briar's hockey house. But somewhere between the midnight kitchen conversations, shared hoodies, and Beau Maxwell showing up at her door every night asking to cuddle, the house-and the people inside it-started feeling like hers. Beau was never supposed to be more than harmless flirting. Except now he knows her coffee order, sleeps better beside her, and looks at her like she's his favorite thing in the world. And Sloan's starting to realize she might feel the same way. Too bad keeping secrets in a house full of hockey players is almost impossible. Especially when everyone already knows they're in love. Everyone except Dean.
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

Lost in Your Ocean - Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter x Fem OC 🥇 1 in #sabrinacarpenter 🥇 1 in #sabrina 🥇 1 in #famous 🥇1 in #sweet-romance 🥈2 in #celebrity Fresh off a demanding yet successful overseas tour, a disciplined 26 years old Royal Marines Captain reluctantly agrees to accompany her younger sister to a Sabrina Carpenter concert-more out of sibling duty than personal interest. Expecting little more than loud music and a crowd she doesn't quite fit into, she arrives guarded, composed, and out of place in civilian life. But the night shifts during the performance of "Juno." Amid flashing lights and a roaring audience, Sabrina's eyes lands on her-sharp posture, unbothered presence, and a quiet intensity that stands out in a sea of fans. Intrigued, Sabrina leans into the playful theatrics of the song, singling her out. In a flirtatious twist, she has the captain "arrested" as part of the act, pulling her briefly into the spotlight. The crowd cheers, her sister is ecstatic, and the captain-trained to remain unshaken under pressure-finds herself unexpectedly disarmed. As the concert continues, Sabrina keeps returning to her-subtle glances, teasing smiles, and knowing winks that feel far more personal than performance. What began as an sibling obligation turns into something confusing for the captain, who can't quite explain why she's feeling something she hasn't felt in a long time. Later that night, away from the stage lights, Sabrina and her friend Paloma slip out in disguise to a nearby bar, for a moment of normalcy. By coincidence-or perhaps something like fate-the captain ends up in the same bar, having been dragged along by her sister for post-concert drinks. Neither recognizes the other immediately. But when they do, the energy from the stage lingers-only now it's quieter, more intimate.
To the world, Leah Williamson is the calm, unshakable leader of Arsenal and England - but behind closed doors, she craves a different kind of escape. That's how she and Rachel end up tangled in sheets, again and again, in a wordless agreement that feelings aren't part of the deal. Rachel doesn't know much about Leah beyond the bruising kisses and the 3 a.m. exits - and for a while, that's enough.
