“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” - Jane Austen. 

Correction

"It is a truth universally acknowledged in the 21st century, that a very single woman in her late twenties, with not one bit of a fortune (because half of it was spent on educating herself) at all must be desperate want of a decent job. An enjoyable man is only a bonus." ~ Aria Walsh. 

Aria Walsh, a newly graduated sports physiologist in her twenties, lands the job of her dreams. The job of her dreams which also happens to be the craziest, wackiest job a woman could do; The Assistant Sports Physiologist for the England National Cricket Team.

It's the first time a woman had landed such a job and Aria is more than thrilled to create history. But little does she know that she willingly entered a big, bad, crazy storm! And that brings us, to her list of newly found problems

Problem No1: William Martin, the wicket keeper who's got women all over England swooning at the sight of his face, seems to be pining over Aria but her professional ethics keep coming in the way.

Problem No2: Every time there's an injury on the field and Aria treats it with her magical knowledge of sports medicine, the team wins. Is she lucky for them? Well, the team seems to think so. Except one very stubborn man.

Problem No3: That one man who despises Aria and everything she stands for is none other than the Team's Captain, Nathan Turner. A strong disbeliever in LUCK, Nathan adamantly maintains that it's the team's continual that wins them the big game. 

Problem No4: The constant hate going on between the two doesn't fare well for the team and the crew of one of the world's best cricket teams, find themselves faltering.

Will she make it till the end of her 5 match trial period? Read to find out!

Arranged Marriage to my Mate [Completed but Editing] by soccerluv4
24 parts Complete
[Completed] Taylor Daniels. Average name, average face, average girl. What about her life? Well, that's a bit complicated. Finding out her werewolf heritage was not part of the seemingly normal life Taylor lived. She'd always been the strong but silent type, concentrating on getting good grades and pleasing her mother. But all that changes when she's merely picked up and dropped into the world of werewolves. She'll have to dust herself off and learn to live with the fact that her life was a lie. What's even more deranged is that her life is at risk. And who can possibly help her? Her so called "mate" Leo Knight. A forced marriage between the two is the only thing keeping her safe, but what happens when this little compromise turns into a whirlwind of attraction, hate, jealousy, and possible love? Can Taylor hold on to her only hope of sanity, or be whisked away in the world of werewolves, where her family, herself included, are a bunch of overgrown dogs? Taylor may seem shy on the outside, but dealing with a sarcastic, rude, arrogant mate has her standing up for herself and ultimately, facing her crazy consequences. Despite her situation, the confusing part is the possible attraction she has to Leo. And to think, it all started with two simple words..."I Do." THIS BOOK IS CURRENTLY BEING EDITED! If you are fine with reading it as is, go ahead! But I am currently editing it to remove multiple grammatical errors, as well as improving the story line and filling in some missing gaps that I failed to address the first time writing this. The finished product will be up soon! If you still would like to read this book, go ahead but you have been warned!

❝ 𝐴 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑒, 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑠 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑠𝑒𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒. ❞ Anna read out loud, while I was staring at the flower that Lord Tewksbury gave me. ❁ I always was sort of different. It wasn't my looks, my health or my social status. It was my mind. I am sick of men telling us, women, what to do. I am sick of my mother telling me to find myself a rich husband. I am sick of my Father being a member of the house of lords but I still won't be the person following him, even though I am the oldest. And why is that? Because I am a woman and that is the only reason. But I decided to defend myself. I decided to make a difference. My plan was to make women join protests against the sexism going on. To inspire them to defend themselves and I was going to achieve my goal even if it meant that I would have to leave behind everything. I only made one rule for myself to follow: don't fall in love. But when I met the Viscount Tewksbury of Basilweather, I quickly knew that I had to focus so I wouldn't break that rule. #5 in SherlockHolmes (16th January 2023) #6 in enolaholmes (4th February 2023) #3 in runningaway (4th February 2023) #5 in emmawatson (28th May 2023) #2 in Tewksbury (10th July 2023) #1 in womensrights (6th June 2024-29th July 24) #1 in Sherlockholmes (17th August 2023) #2 in runningaway (26th November 2023) (All the characters except my own belong to the owners of Enola Holmes) About 30.000 words have been used in this book

"You can't be serious?" I stare at him in disbelief, blinking as I notice there isn't any sign of a lie. "Why would I marry you? I mean I see your benefits, there's nothing in it for me." "I have something you want, you know that. You're just to stubborn to realise it." He shrugs, slouching in his desk chair. "What do you have? A bad reputation?" "Money, you and I both know just how much you need it right now." He says, staring back at me but not in disbelief. He's fully serious about this. ------ Gianna Rose Rowell hasn't had the best start in life, by the looks of it, things aren't changing. She grew up poor, someone close to her is ill. She has student debt bills, rent months overdue and now doctors bills to pile on top of that. Working as an assistant for a hockey player doesn't exactly help that either. Aiden Bennett is privileged, he always has been. Unlike Gianna he has grown up with money. Unfortunately for his parents, he didn't want their lifestyle, which to them didn't matter. He inherited the company and had his side thing. Hockey. Put the pressure gets to him and he turns to other means to distract him. Marriage of convenience trope.
