Summary
Lisa’s lips are parted. Hot air passes through them in short pants leaving miniscule droplets of dew upon them. Her hand is pressed firmly into the wall, finger nails scratching as a pitchy groan echoes from her rapidly rising and falling chest.

Summary
Lisa just looked stunned, and Carla started to panic a little.
"It's not illegal, is it? You can't arrest me for … public indecency, or summat?"
"Carla -" Lisa swallowed. "Are you really going to make me sit through dinner?"
Oh, Carla thought, the smirk back on her face. That's why she was looking so wide-eyed.
"Yes, darling." Carla leant forward, her voice a purr. "We're going to eat dinner, celebrate it being a Wednesday or summat, and then, if you're very good, I've got us a room upstairs. Does that sound like something you're up for?"

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
The pain in her chest becoming unbearable.
The image of Carla’s tear stained face wedged behind her eyelids like a cruel joke.
She leans up against the cold hard wall outside.
The cool air slapping her face like a much needed reprieve from whatever the fuck that was inside.
Her body doubled over, the palms of her hands resting on her thighs trying to somehow ground herself.
Her breathing is heavy and shallow.
The first signs of a panic attack rising through her body with speed.
Tears threaten to spill from her eyes.
What the fuck just happened?
Carla kissed her.
Carla fucking kissed her.

Summary
Carla replayed it in her mind over and over— the cold look on Lisa’s face as she’d told Carla to go, the blame she had spat in Carla’s face. It was impossible to reconcile this with her love, her life, the Lisa who had held her hand all those months ago and told her she was never going anywhere.

Summary
DS Swain is one of Weatherfield's most dedicated police officers. She's serious. She's good at her job. She's unflappable.
Lisa Swain is the opposite. She's awkward. She says stupid, embarrassing things. She makes up lies to save face in front of her family.
But when Lisa's lie brings her sister into DS Swain's orbit, she runs the risk of being truly humiliated. How can she get herself out of her predicament?
She's going to need some help!
(This is a bit different from my usual writing style. It's fun and frivolous and HOPEFULLY a bit funny!)

Summary
Lisa Swain is a lifelong Manchester City supporter, fiercely loyal and just as passionate about football as she is about life. After a standout game at the Etihad, she crosses paths with City's new star signing, Carla Connor — a sharp, fearless winger who’s quickly winning hearts on and off the pitch.
Their first meeting is brief but charged, leaving Lisa more captivated than she cares to admit. As the season goes on, their paths continue to cross — first at matches, then at unexpected moments around Manchester. The more Lisa sees of Carla, the more the professional bravado gives way to glimpses of something real, something vulnerable.
But with Carla’s rising fame and Lisa's own doubts about mixing real feelings with football hero-worship, both women must figure out if what’s growing between them is just a passing spark — or something worth fighting for.
It's a story about passion, patience, and finding connection in a world that moves faster than a 90-minute match.
