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.

Summary
Carla Connor is a bestselling author struggling with writer’s block and the overwhelming pressure of fame. Seeking respite from the media storm and a chance to reconnect with her passion for writing, she retreats to the small, quiet town of Willowbrook.
Lisa, a retired police officer, owns a cosy independent bookstore in Willowbrook after the tragic loss of her wife. Living a quieter life, she’s content in her small-town refuge, far removed from the chaos of the outside world.
When Carla stumbles upon Lisa’s bookshop, she’s intrigued by the small, blonde owner who seems to know nothing about her fame. But what Carla doesn’t know is that Lisa knows exactly who she is and is a big fan. As their paths cross more often, a bond forms. One that unexpectedly grows deeper, leaving both women questioning just how much their lives might change in this quiet town.

Summary
The woman tosses the dripping tray into the bin and swans off toward her car, leaving Carla standing there soaked and vaguely baffled. She swears those big green eyes lingered on her chest a second too long, but she lets it slide.
She’s practically flashing her golden globes at half of Manchester, and of course, she’s wearing black lace. Because why wouldn’t she be?
