Summary
First year of uni was supposed to be simple: new city, new people, fresh start.
Instead, Carla Connor ends up in a chaotic house full of strangers, cheap wine, and too many personalities to keep track of, including one quiet, observant blonde who seems to see right through her.
Lisa Swain didn’t come to uni to make friends. She definitely didn’t come to get involved.
But somewhere between late-night kitchens, shared spaces, and conversations that hit a little too close to home, something starts to shift.
Slowly. Quietly.
And neither of them are quite ready for it.

Summary
“You know, there’s a word for women like you.”
Lisa quirks an eyebrow. “Oh yeah?”
“Yeah,” Carla nods. “MILF.”
Lisa laughs then; a real filthy laugh that makes Carla feel totally weightless. The blonde casually slings her arm over the back of Carla’s chair, her face only inches away from the brunette’s as she leans in and says-
“There’s a word for women like you too.”
Carla blinks, her throat bobbing as she swallows. “Uh-huh?”
“Mmm,” Lisa hums. “Trouble.”

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 can't speak.
Just watches - mouth dry - as the blonde holds it up, a satin spaghetti strap dangling from each hand as she takes it in, curious gaze lingering on the more daring elements, and then-
(Oh, god-)
Spins it around, holds it against herself, almost like she's wearing it, eyes sparkling.
Or: Lisa tries on lingerie for Carla. For research purposes. Obviously.
