OFFSIDE by annakaspian19

When Alana moves back to England and takes a job with a Premier League team, the last thing she's expecting is to be reunited with Garrett - her childhood friend and the star of the team who's suddenly very attractive. ... Once she's graduated university, Alana Clarke moves back to where she grew up for her first job as the social media manager for Wakefield FC. While the atmosphere initially seems less than ideal, thanks to a mildly annoying boss, things start looking up when she reconnects with one of the players, an old classmate of hers. Alana knows she isn't supposed to date within the club, but things start piling up in her life and this might just be the perfect distraction. Garrett Bancroft is at a career high. Despite Wakefield's iffy record, he's being scouted by other teams in the Prem - and a few across the globe. Everything is working out perfectly until public attention isn't the only thing he attracts and the club's new hire catches his eye. Although Garrett's performance last season yielded a number of personal records, his mental state was at an all-time low, so a good relationship may be just what he needs. As stated by the league, club staff are highly discouraged from dating players, but Alana can't seem to avoid Garrett's charm. However, hiding their relationship turns out to be a bigger challenge than expected. As Alana begins to make enemies within the club, gossip is leaked about Garrett, and nobody to back them up, the two worry they might just be getting ahead of themselves. Unless they can get someone in their corner, both of their careers might be in jeopardy. How much is too much to risk for love?

Forbidden Luisa × Female! Reader by kaceelou3

To be fair you always had a crush on Luisa Madrigal, but you were always intimidated by her too. One day your best friend and also her sister, Mirabel, makes you step out of your comfort zone and start hanging out with her to help you realize she isn't really that intimidating, but rather a big loveable baby. You of course have a slightly bad reputation for making the other girls of Encanto fall in love with you unintentionally because of your horrible jokes and awkward/silly personality. Luisa well she has the most beautiful reputation of all (almost) for always helping out and her personality was usually hidden, but was definitely there once you got to know her. As for Alma (Abuela) she never really liked you, but for the sake of Mirabel kept you around because she knew that sometimes Mirabel needed more then just her family to be happy, but the last thing she expects is her own granddaughter to fall for the one person she's never really agreed with. Its no secret that its forbidden for two girls to love one another in the small village of Encanto, but when its someone from the Madrigal family that rule just might be broken or bent a little. This is my first time writing a girlxgirl story, so if it sucks thats why. If you'd like to have me fix anything in it I can. If you have some ideas or requests that you'd like to see in the book I will try and make it happen. Updates will be slow as I work alot, so no guarantee I will be able to update everyday.⁵

With the stakes set to "don't screw this up" and their chemistry undeniable, the next two weeks are all about swooning, teasing, and discovering that maybe, just maybe, love might actually happen in a way neither of them expects. Can Mira let down her walls? Can Ethan convince her he's not just some pretty face with money? Well, they're both about to find out, one awkward date and stolen kiss at a time.

Rose by mimia_k

Flowing silk dresses. Structured suits. Empty, forced vows. Soft, sweet nothings. Whispered caresses. Bittersweet kisses. Blue, blue eyes. This is not a love story. This is ruination. 🥀 Rosaline Beaumont. A name that once graced every tabloid, a face that used to be plastered all over social media. A girl that had all but disappeared. But now, four years after everything had turned to ashes in her grasp, she was back under the ever greedy gaze of the cameras, the watchful eyes of high society thirsting to watch their darling unravel. Standing at a wedding altar not of her choice, Rose was on the precipice of vowing to spend the rest of her life with a man she hardly knew. A deadly gamble. A hopeful new start. But could something new truly blossom, when the clutches of the past were dug so deep? Could she ever truly move on, when she couldn't close her eyes without dreaming of him? And could a marriage really last, when her heart would forever beat for another? 🥀 Completed on July 5, 2025.
