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
Alternative reality where Lisa and Carla have never met. Set round about the time Carla receives the divorce papers.
Carla has been at the receiving end of sinister threats and Lisa is assigned to be her bodyguard (or, as she prefers to call it, her security detail).
Just a pure bodyguard rip off :-) No clue where it is going.

Summary
Lisa is horrified to discover that Carla is trying to rope her into attending a business dinner, posing as her girlfriend. Why would Carla want to pretend to date her? Lisa has enough to worry about with a teenage daughter at home. But, of course, Betsy thinks the situation is hilarious!
Update January 2025
Fine, Fine Line was my favourite story to write and, six months on, it remains the story I'm most proud of. There are so many new fans/readers now, who weren't around back in July, so to celebrate its six month (!) anniversary, I've written an epilogue. Set six months after the fake dating adventure, Carla is turning 50 and Lisa is throwing her a not-so-secret party.I hope you all enjoy seeing what Carla, Lisa and Betsy are up to, six months after fake dating brought them together. And, new readers, I hope you enjoy the whole thing!
