Summary
At twenty years old, Lisa Swain is the captain of the University of Manchester Women’s Football team. Confident on the pitch, but painfully shy off it. Carla Connor is the confident, cocky cheerleader who’s taken an interest in her fellow captain.
When a joint social between the two squads forces them together for the first time, a game of Never Have I Ever and Spin the Bottle changes everything.
But with the biggest game of the year, the Varsity Cup, looming, and their schedules pulling them in opposite directions, will they be brave enough to take a chance on each other?

So ive had this silly idea in my head for awhile and half written but then some new inspiration came along and here we are. Who doesnt like drinking games, challenges and a little spiciness. This is supposed to be fun and a little ridiculous in some places so if its abit fluffy and funny just go with it. I had way too much fun writing this.Bookmarked by LisaConnor

Summary
After the glory of England’s Euros win, football star Carla Connor and Detective Inspector Lisa Swain escape the chaos for one sun-soaked week in Ibiza. For the first time in months, it’s just the two of them—no press, no cameras, no crime scenes. Just peace, cocktails, and the quiet certainty that they’re ready for forever. But when they return to Manchester, real life rushes back in.
Carla is preparing for the next season with Man City Women. Lisa is thrown into one of the biggest cases of her career, working long hours and making headlines of her own. As the public spotlight intensifies and their time together shrinks, Carla and Lisa try to hold on to what matters most: each other.
Wedding plans begin—quietly at first—but family, media, and demanding careers make "simple" feel impossible. When external pressures test their trust and priorities, they’ll need more than love to make it work. Because this isn’t just a story about winning championships or catching criminals. It’s about choosing each other—every single day.

Summary
Lisa Swain is the architect of order: Captain of Manchester City, a minimalist perfectionist, and the self-proclaimed "Ice Queen" of the league. She views football as a science to be mastered.
Carla Connor is the definition of chaos: Captain of Manchester United, a local hero fueled by adrenaline, instinct, and the roar of the crowd. She views football as a war to be won.
For ten years, they have been total opposites. For five years, they have been bitter rivals. But this season, the tackles are hitting harder, the stares in the tunnel are lingering longer, and the hatred is starting to feel dangerously like obsession.
When the rivalry spills over the touchline, Lisa discovers that the only thing more terrifying than losing control is giving it to the one person she’s sworn to destroy.
