Completed • First Draft - not edited. || "You gonna sit there all night?" Luka glances at me, smirking. I glare back. "I was enjoying the last few seconds of peace before having to spend an evening pretending to like you." "That's funny," he says, unbuckling his seatbelt. "Why?" I snap. "Because I was thinking the same thing." || The rules? Easy enough. 1. Pretend to be the perfect couple. 2. Keep it professional. 3. And whatever you do, don't. catch. feelings. Simple, right? Sofia Calloway never planned on going viral for throwing a drink in Luka Mikhaylov's face. But one video, one pissed-off hockey star, and one furious university later... she's suddenly stuck in a fake relationship with the guy she can't stand. He needs to clean up his image before the NHL draft. She needs the free tuition that comes with the deal. All they have to do is smile for the cameras, hold hands at the games, and act like they don't want to strangle each other. Then come the late-night arguments that last too long. The stolen glances that feel too dangerous. The moment where "pretend" starts looking way too real. Because when you break the rules, someone's bound to lose. And this time, it might be both of them.

With a fractured career and a body that betrayed her, the former dancer finds herself dropped into a town where everyone knows everyone, and her face means nothing. No stage, no spotlight-just bruised pride, nosy classmates, and the endless shadow of who she used to be. But when she dodges an almost-death-through-rugby-ball her life would never be the same. 𝗥𝘂𝗱𝘆 𝗞𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗵 has been everyone's second favourite twin his entire life. While Johnny basks in the glow of greatness, Rudy's busy surviving-balancing rugby, his temper, and the quiet recovery from mistakes no one talks about. He's known for being the hard hitter on the pitch and the hot head off it. He doesn't do distractions. And he definitely didn't do the effort of girlfriends. But what about the girl who couldn't care less about who he is? Shaylee isn't like the others. And Rudy? He's far more wrecked than he lets on. They weren't meant to cross paths. But once they do, there's no going back. Not when the lines between hate and obsession blur, and secrets threaten to tear the ground out from beneath them both.
