Faking a relationship with him was supposed to fix everything. Falling for him might break me.

My life has always been about pushing limits, but this time, I pushed too far. So when a PR nightmare threatens my band’s reputation, the perfect solution is standing right in front of me—Sam Hartley, the NFL’s golden boy and star tight end who has no patience for my brand of chaos.

My life has always been about pushing limits, but this time, I pushed too far. So when a PR nightmare threatens my band’s reputation, the perfect solution is standing right in front of me—Sam Hartley, the NFL’s golden boy and star tight end who has no patience for my brand of chaos. Hes clean-cut, radiates perfection, and follows every rule.
We agree to fake a relationship for the cameras, convincing the world we’re madly in love while we can’t stand each other behind closed doors. The rules are simple: no strings, no emotions, and definitely no falling for each other.
The problem?
Sam isn’t just a game I can win; he’s a challenge that makes me question every line I’ve drawn. Each fake smile and staged touch feels like a battle, but behind the cameras, the tension between us is raw and real. As time passes, the act starts to crack, and the line between hate and desire blurs.
But when our lies become truth, I know letting him in could be my biggest risk yet.
Will playing pretend cost me the only real thing I’ve ever wanted?
Sam
Being a star athlete comes with rules, and I’ve spent my career following them. Brixton Scott? He breaks every single one. So when our PR teams propose a fake relationship for the sake of both our images, I should have said no. He’s reckless, unpredictable, and seems to enjoy making my life difficult.
Now we’re both stuck in this arrangement, forced to convince everyone we’re the real deal. But off-camera, every exchange feels like a battle I’m determined not to lose and every second with him tests my patience—and my rules. It’s messy, it’s complicated, and it’s becoming dangerously real.
But just as I’m starting to believe in the illusion we’ve created, the past comes crashing in, threatening to expose the truth neither of us is ready to face.
Is the risk worth it when falling for him could be the biggest mistake of all?
