Transfer Clause

She comes to England on a short-term deal with Radcliffe, a struggling women’s football side that has been allowed to run on broken promises and quiet pressure. Officially, she is there to lift the club. Privately, she is there for Amanda, the sister who stopped sounding like herself after injury, benching, and one too many conversations behind closed doors.

Leonie Cartlidge is Radcliffe’s captain, and she does not need an American star treating her club like a rescue project. She has held the team together through bad pitches, thin resources, and a manager who knows exactly how to make players doubt themselves. Jenna’s standards may be useful. Her confidence is infuriating. Her body on the training pitch is a problem Leonie has no time for.

But the more Jenna sees, the harder it is to leave. The more Leonie pushes back, the harder it is to pretend this is only football. Training pressure turns into trust. Anger turns into heat. A temporary transfer starts to feel like the one clause neither of them knows how to end.

Transfer Clause is a heated FF football romance about rivalry, rescue, belonging, and the dangerous choice to stay when leaving would be easier.
