Description
Riley Miller is only 17 when she earns a spot on Arsenal's senior squad-a dream for most, but for her, it's a desperate escape. Abandoned, abused, and hardened by a world that's never shown her kindness, Riley trusts no one and speaks even less. Her walls are high, and her heart is locked shut. But Leah Williamson sees through the silence. The Arsenal captain recognizes the storm behind Riley's eyes-because she's lived through her own. With quiet persistence and unwavering strength, Leah reaches out, pulling Riley into the safety of something she's never known: family. Just as Riley begins to breathe again, fate throws her into the path of two Chelsea players-Katie and Aggie. Katie, all fire and challenge, meets Riley's walls with sparks that ignite something wild and unfamiliar. Aggie, gentle and warm, offers a friendship so pure it feels like a lifeline. But Riley's heart can't take both-and it's already been broken too many times to risk again. As the rivalry between Arsenal and Chelsea heats up on the pitch, the real battle plays out off it-between the past that haunts her, the girl who wants to love her, and the one who might just save her. But love is a dangerous game when you've never known it before. And choosing wrong could cost Riley everything.
