Description
She never planned to fall. But some things can't be outrun forever. Willow doesn't believe in love. Not after what she's been through. When she signs with Arsenal, it's supposed to be a new beginning-a chance to focus on football, on healing, and on finally reuniting with her best friend, Alessia Russo. The two have always shared everything... until Leah Williamson steps in. Strong. Steady. Impossible to ignore. Leah sees through Willow's walls in ways no one else ever has. But so does Alessia-and the lines between friendship, loyalty, and something more begin to blur. As Willow rises on the pitch, the pressure builds off it. Her past is still chasing her, and love was never part of the plan. Especially not when hearts are on the line-and two of them belong to the people she trusts most. Can Willow outrun what haunts her? Or will love find her in the one place she never thought to look-right at her feet? And no matter who she chooses-someone's going to get hurt. Including her.
