Characters

Stella Williamson's life revolves around football-and at Chelsea, she's finally found her rhythm. But when an injury sidelines her for weeks, the only constant she can cling to is Aggie Beever-Jones, her best friend and the one person who never lets her down.

Except lately, Aggie's been different. Kinder. Closer. And Stella's walls, so carefully built after years of hiding who she really is, begin to crack. Feelings she's spent years ignoring come rushing in like a storm. But what if it's all in her head? What if crossing that line ruins everything?

Torn between silence and confession, fear and hope, Stella must choose: keep pretending, or risk everything for the one girl who makes her feel like she's home.
