Summary
Lisa’s mum is dying, and she has one last wish: to see her daughter happy and in love. What starts as a harmless favour between friends turns into a full-scale performance, complete with convincing their families, their friends, and everyone else in their orbit that the relationship is real. It should be easy. After all, they’re only pretending.
Falling for each other? That’s definitely not part of the plan.

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
As Carla and Lisa’s two worlds overlap, moments of warmth and humour sit alongside difficult truths, forcing both of them to confront what it means to trust someone with the parts of themselves they usually keep hidden. It’s a story about vulnerability, chosen family, and the courage it takes to believe that love can exist alongside imperfection — and it can flourish.

Summary
Amid the uncertainty and quiet collapse of the 1990s, Lisa — a quiet daughter of a schoolteacher — has spent her life doing what’s expected. But when she meets Carla — an independent, guarded photographer — her world begins to shift. This is a story of first love that demands courage, of choosing truth over fear, and of finding yourself even when it means losing everything else.

Summary
“She’s besotted with us, isn’t she?” Lisa says, amused. “Not that I mind. It’s nice, you know? Kids seeing queer relationships in public and thinking nothing of it.”
She gestures vaguely between them, “Even if that’s not what this is.”
OR What if Carla never said, “Don’t get dressed,” and the sapphic yearning continued?
