battle battleofthecaptains captains challenge hate love rivals romance soccer

(Second book of Battle of the Captains)

Northwood soccer captains Bryce Jacobs and Maddie Tate have had to share things all their lives- their first soccer ball, their weekly family dinners, the soccer spotlight and now they have to share the field.

Having moms who are best friends has basically bound them for life but having a competitive streak makes it hard to be best friends. Despite being tied by the hip their whole childhood, they've grown far about and far more competitive than before. 

When the girl's soccer team loses their coach, the coach of the boy's team takes them in for the meantime, forcing Bryce and Maddie to play nice like they did as kids, forcing them to be co-captains. They are individual teams, practicing as one, adding to the amount of time they have to spend together and restarting the cycle of sharing between the two.

They can work together if they can stop trying to fight the obvious chemistry. But what if they realize that they really are the dream team their parents believed them to be?

What's the worst that can happen when you're forced to co-captain with your rival? Nova Shields can't stand Leo Hendrix. She hates his arrogance and obnoxiousness, that crooked smirk he does when he thinks he's right. Leo can't stand Nova's wits, the way she folds her arms and quirks her eyebrows. The way he can never read what's happening behind those green eyes. After a combined black operation was almost sent awry in '99 as a result of their constant disagreements, the pair vowed to never work alongside each other again. That is until Leo's partner suddenly loses his life in '02, leaving Commander North no choice but to bring in the only officer capable of filling the void: Nova. Their partnership ignites with animosity, a consequence of the lingering grudge. They can't seem to find that comradeship the Commander longed for. That is until they discover how once they work together without disagreeing, arguing and trying to wring each others necks, they can in fact form an unstoppable duo. A duo that transcends the operations they face; that forces them to confront the feelings they've been denying for so long. Feelings that only surface through the betrayals, bloodshed and near death experiences. Feelings that may be accepted, but only when it's too late.

Lacrosse by discoverhope

During the games played against Lincoln Central and Pittsburgh Hills is when the real rivalry is revealed. Both teams come out for blood, determined to walk off the field victorious. Bench clearing brawls break out in nearly every game, fans are removed from the stands due to fighting, car windows are smashed and tired are slashed. Needless to say, there are no boundaries when it comes to the lacrosse rivalry. Sometimes the game comes down not to which team has more skill, but to which team will go the farthest to win. This year's state championship game will be no different, and this year, a line will be crossed that turns a not-so-friendly rivalry into a full out war. //I would like to personally apologize for this book. I wrote it when I was 13 and knew nothing about anything. I find it quite tasteless and awful, but a lot of people love it and have told me it helped them through rougher days, so I can't bring myself to delete it. Trigger warning// rape
