Kaia Marie Catley has always felt like the odd one out. The youngest of the Catley siblings, she grew up under the roof of a man she's always called "dad," but the truth about her birth has left her with questions she can't ignore.
After a whirlwind 2023 World Cup filled with celebration, Kaia wakes up in a Los Angeles hotel with no memory of the night before. All she has are a wedding ring, divorce papers, paracetamol, and a heartfelt letter from a stranger signed only as "L." Reality crashes in: she's accidentally caught in a life-changing mess she barely remembers.
Determined to make sense of it all, Kaia heads to Barcelona with her sister Steph, hoping for a fresh start. But her mission to uncover the truth about her past-her father, her place in the world, and the life she thought she knew-is about to collide with football, family, and the unexpected chaos of love.

Between the Flags.
At twenty-six, Isradora finally has the world at her feet - and yet, she can't shake the feeling that something's missing. Selected for the 2023 World Cup, Isradora returns to the world stage stronger, older, and more determined than ever. But standing across the pitch is the woman she hasn't seen in years - Alexia Putellas. Cold. Distant. Familiar in a way that makes her chest ache. The only thing Isradora remembers from their tangled teenage past is a pair of hazel eyes, a soft accent, and the feeling of being wanted. Now, with the pressure of football, the weight of her past, and her madre back in her life after years apart, Isradora must face the truth she's buried for too long - about the father she lost, the memories she locked away, and the girl who might've never stopped loving her. Because the past always finds a way to return. Especially when it never really left. 25.09.96
