Fighting Chance: An age-gap lesbian romance (Chances Collection)

All Bella wants is a fighting chance. She never expected to find it next door. Bella McGuire has no choice. Arsenal want to sell her, and with only one WSL team interested, she signs for Bath Street Harriers. It’s a chance to play football again—and a chance to start over. Armed with a fresh kit, her dog Ruffles, and the nickname she’s always preferred—Jack—she’s ready to rebuild her life. At almost forty and newly divorced, Vanessa is finally free to make her own choices. When an accidental balcony mishap brings her new neighbour to her door, a quick check-in turns into impromptu drinks and an unexpected confession. Vanessa has always thought she was straight, but Jack makes her wonder: what if? What follows is an intense, magnetic afternoon that ignites a sudden, undeniable fire between them, catching them both completely off guard. But when reality sets in, a panicked Vanessa immediately pulls back, terrified of what this means for her identity.
