Contemporary Romance Web Novels & Star Hate to Love Stories

Five years ago, Vivienne Cross was London’s most brilliant rising sports rehabilitation therapist. She was also secretly in love with Marcus Vance, the arrogant, generational talent of Premier League soccer. But when Marcus forced her to falsify his medical clearance under pressure—ruining his knee permanently on the pitch—he didn't take the blame. Instead, he publicly branded her a medical fraud to save his own sponsorships. His lie blacklisted her from the industry, sent her family into financial ruin, and caused her father’s fatal stroke. Now, Marcus is the ruthless, bitter General Manager of London United, living with a failing body and a hollow soul. Desperate to salvage his mobility, he tracks down "The Ghost"—an underground physical therapist healing street fighters in London’s grittiest basements. He expects a miracle worker. He finds Vivienne. Hardened, cold, and harboring a deep-seated hatred for him, Vivienne agrees to treat his leg under one condition: absolute agony. As Marcus willingly endures her brutal therapy to pay for his past sins, a dark web of blackmail and corporate greed begins to unravel. To win back the woman he destroyed, Marcus will have to do the unthinkable—destroy the soccer empire he built, even if it means kneeling in the mud to do it.

Getting framed was the worst thing that had ever happened to me. Until I became the personal physiotherapist of the most famous hockey player in the country. Leo Vance. The man every woman adored.

But with my medical license hanging by a thread and his secret injury threatening everything he’s built, walking away isn’t an option. Now we’re trapped under the same roof, fighting through painful rehabilitation sessions, old grudges, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. The longer I stay inside the Vance estate, the more I realize Leo isn’t the only one hiding something. Someone destroyed my father’s life. Someone destroyed mine. And somehow… every answer I’ve been searching for has been waiting for me inside the home of the man I swore I’d never forgive.
