Book 1 · Start here

One season. One rivalry. One family about to detonate.

The Golden Girl. The Streetfighter. A rivalry the league invented, and a slow burn neither of them can control.

Lexa Delvaux has spent her whole life being the best, because in her family, being loved and being first are the same thing. Her father owns the club. Her brother-in-law coaches it. Her sister markets it. Her entire world is crimson and gold, until Valentina Reyes starts taking it apart one touch at a time.

Perfect for readers who love

  • Sapphic rivals-to-lovers with real tension and a slower burn
  • Sports romance set in a women's soccer league that feels alive
  • Succession-style family drama: power plays, betrayals, a dynasty in decline
  • An ice-queen heroine meeting the one woman who won't play her game
  • Multi-POV storytelling: the star, the fixer sister, the invisible matriarch

For fans of Dynasty, One Tree Hill and Succession.

The author

About Lia Hart

Lia Hart writes sapphic sports romance about women who play to win: captains, strikers, rivals in the wrong colors, and the families and clubs that think they own them.

Her books pair big family drama with real match stakes, told from several points of view, with slow burns, spice for adult readers and a happy ending waiting at the end of every series.

She publishes a new book every month, alternating four-book family sagas with standalone series set in the same worlds. Football and hockey come first, with basketball, volleyball and tennis on the way.
