Sixteen year old Lara just wants a normal life. A normal life is near impossible when you have five brothers with a huge passion for soccer and a family that revolves around soccer. She’s the girl who’d rather wear a soccer jersey instead of a dress. The girl who’d be kicking soccer balls instead of doing ballet.
But, the summer Lara meets Angelo, a boy who is much more talented and better at soccer than Lara, is the summer where she tries to score a soccer scholarship into Picoult University. This scholarship means everything to her! But, it’s not only Lara who would kill for this scholarship, it is her competitor Angelo who has committed his living day to gain this golden opportunity. Lara’s whole summer turns upside down as she finds herself competing against Angelo. But for Lara, it’s not anymore about getting the scholarship, it is more about finding herself within, and what is normal?

rory has everything-money, beauty, brains, and talent. at just fourteen, she's already a rising star at arsenal's u17 academy, with dreams of playing for the first team and the lionesses. she's the kind of girl who shines on and off the pitch, always smiling, always pushing forward. but behind the perfect image is a girl who's had to raise herself. the daughter of a top ceo and a fashion designer, rory has never known what it's like to be truly seen by her parents. they provide everything-except love. their absence, their coldness, their indifference-it's all she's ever known. so rory has learned to be her own light. she pours everything into football, into school, into becoming something worth noticing. and then, one evening after training, jonas eidevall, arsenal's first-team manager, tells her he wants her to train with the senior squad. just like that, her dream inches closer to reality. but as rory steps into a world where talent is only half the battle, where pressure builds and expectations rise, she must navigate more than just the game. because being a star on the pitch is easy. but learning to let people in? learning that she is enough, even without proving herself? that might be the hardest thing she's ever had to do. 🥇 arsenal 🥇 woso 🥇 womensfootball 🥇 lionesses 🥇 viviannemiedema 🥇 stephcatley 🥇 gunners 🥇 bethmead

Heartbreak Season
"Thanks for the best day ever" I grinned looking up at him as the sky overhead darkened. "It was your six year old imagination that did this" He smiled bumping my shoulder. "I was amazing" I drawled. "You still are" he murmured quietly looking down at me. Our gazes locked and I felt my heartbeat quicken. Somewhere in the back of my mind I registered that it had begun raining but the other half, the part that was taking over, only saw him. His gaze moved to my lips and I was frozen as he slowly brought his face to mine. Call it what you will but whatever it was, took over. ~~~~ A super original story about a girl on an all boys soccer team, who only wears sweats and t-shirts, but so happens to fall in love with the team captain who happens to be so far out of her league, it's almost unbearable. Of course, she's like a sister to him (cliche cliche cliche) but, alas, he falls for her...but not before she seems to be falling for the boy she's known since she was a child. Love triangles, disastrous proms, insane step brothers, and a high school class system bent on maintaining the status quo and you've got yourself a teenage love story. **This story was written almost six years ago, when cliche romance novels and vampires made the world swoon.Complete
