“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!

26 parts Complete
In a world torn between rival countries and unforgiving media scrutiny, two souls find themselves bound together by an unthinkable force-an arranged marriage meant to protect their families, but it may be the very thing that sets their hearts free. Ibrahim Qureshi, a world-renowned cricketer, carries the weight of fame, past scandals, and a nation's expectations on his shoulders. A man fiercely protective of his privacy, he's forced into a marriage with the daughter of one of his country's greatest rivals, Daneen Zafar. With his reputation at stake, he's left with little choice but to marry the beautiful and intelligent Daneen, despite his bitter resentment toward her family. Daneen Zafar, raised in the UK with little connection to the deep-rooted animosities between the two countries, is a woman of strength and quiet resilience. Misunderstood by the world for her privileged background, she has spent her life quietly navigating expectations and dealing with heartbreak. When a scandal threatens both their futures, she finds herself not only fighting the media but also the deep-seated prejudices that stand between her and Ibrahim. From hostile beginnings to unlikely allies, their marriage begins as a way to protect their families-but soon becomes something far more complicated. As the world watches with suspicion and hatred, Ibrahim and Daneen must learn to trust each other, defy expectations, and break through the walls they've built to protect their hearts. In this powerful tale of love, sacrifice, and defiance, two people from opposite worlds must decide if love can truly transcend borders, or if the weight of the past will forever keep them apart. It is a story of love born from adversity, where the heart's deepest desires are tested by fate, society, and the ghosts of history. Can love conquer everything, even the forces that try to tear them apart?

❝ 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

"In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." -Pride and Prejudice. -Jane Austen. Allison Waters is a girl as simple as they come, atleast that's what she believed. And to be honest she did enjoy a simple life for the past two years. All she wanted to pass her senior year in peace and be happy in life. What she wasn't expecting was to be back in town with a certain Greek God of a Devil acting more annoying than ever... Calling him tall dark and handsome would be the understatement of the century. He is the arrogant quarterback and one of the most popular guys in shcool. He is as I mention previously the reincarnation of the devil in his actions and a Greek God in the looks department, with startling blue eyes, a sinful body and gorgeous hair, who may at different times define the words Cocky and Adorable. Quite a contrast isn't it? Well that's who he is, or for that matter how we all are... a bit of both. Ashton Fobes is Alli's bestfriend, well Ex-Bestfriend, he is also her arch nemisis, her sworn enemy, but he is also the only one who can make her push her limits and challenge her in ways she never thought possible. Soon they were playing with Cupid's arrows trying to set up the unlikeliest couple imaginable, but what they seemed to have forgotten was Fate's wierd sense of humor and so it turned out while they were playing with Cupid's Arrows, he was aiming them at these two instead. Ps: I have now unpublished most of the chapters. Highest Ranking: 30, 35, 50 in teen fiction. 32, 66 in ChickLit. 46, 47, 78 in humor.
