Elliot Winslet West, a 19-year-old B-list celebrity and nepo baby, finds himself thrust into the spotlight after joining a popular series. During an interview with his co-stars, he learns that fans have been shipping him with his on-screen counterpart, Theo Allen Hex. Dumbfounded and disgusted, Elliot doesn't know what to say-until Theo, always professional, smoothly answers the question for him. Theo, also 19, is a talented actor who's been in the industry long enough to handle his public image and damage control with ease. Unlike Elliot, who's used to privilege and being pampered, Theo's hardworking and humble. Forced to act together, their personalities clash, but as they spend more time building on-screen chemistry, they begin to feel a connection off-screen as well. As the world watches, Elliot and Theo must navigate their growing attraction amidst the pressure of their roles, their fans, and their own complicated feelings. -Smut included-

When shy bartender Elliot is approached by a handsome stranger on a park bench at midnight, their unlikely attraction unravels everything they know about themselves, and the crime-ridden city around them. *** Elliot Taylor is running out of places to hide. Trapped between a ruthless father, a dead-end job, and a future that feels just out of reach, he spends his nights on park benches clinging to one goal: get into college and get out for good. What he doesn't plan on is Noah Black. Vice President of the Stray Dogs Motorcycle Club. Infamous. Observant. Relentless. Far too charming for a man with a reputation for violence, and determined to pry into wounds Elliot would rather pretend don't exist. Through chance encounters and sleepless nights, the two can't seem to avoid each other. But Noah's life comes with complications: a motorcycle club under pressure, threats closing in, and loyalties that crumble when tested. As Elliot drifts deeper into Noah's current, he cannot help but realize how dangerously close he's falling -- even as deadly secrets threaten to unravel everything they've fought so hard for. Soon, Elliot must face a choice: keep chasing the life he's always dreamed of, or confront the truths that could shatter everything he knows... including his past, his heart, and the man who refuses to let him go.
