Summary
"Oh, please tell me you haven’t had an argument with your mother in front of the whole family".
"Worse" Lisa muttered, suddenly looking very interested in the floor. "I lied".
"You? Detective Sergeant Lisa Swain, pillar of truth and justice, told a fib? Colour me intrigued. What did you say?"
"I told them I was already dating someone."
Carla let out a sharp bark of laughter. "No! Brilliant. Who’s the lucky imaginary lady?"
"Mum went into absolute overdrive. She didn't even pause for breath. She immediately declared that if I’ve been seeing someone, they have to come on the family holiday. I started panicking, trying to make up excuses – said she was busy, said she hated the beach, said she had a terrible phobia of flying. But they wouldn't have it. Mum was relentless. She demanded to know her name".
"And? What did you tell her?”
"I said Carla"

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.
