Liv Hart has always been careful. Guarded. Unpredictable to everyone but herself.

Between relentless media scrutiny, chaotic public attention, and the pressure of keeping their personal lives private, Liv and Will navigate a slow-burning connection where trust isn't given-it's earned. Every glance, every touch, every step forward comes with hesitation, but also undeniable heat. As the world watches, Liv must decide if letting someone in is worth the risk-and Will must prove that love can survive even the harshest spotlight.

Blair and Macklin crossed paths by accident. Having the same best friend has perks, but now something in both of them shifted. They weren't strangers anymore; they became apart of each other's story in a way that couldn't be undone. Even now when they aren't speaking, life somehow brings them back together when they least expect it.

You met Will Smith during your sophomore year at Boston College-cocky, loud, impossible not to notice. He sat behind you in stats class and spent the whole semester finding new ways to make you laugh. Somewhere between all-night study sessions and Friday night games at Conte Forum, you fell hard. Now, two years later, everything's changed. You've moved to California for grad school, and Will's a rookie in San Jose-alongside Macklin Celebrini, the Sharks' other rising star. You expect long nights and even longer FaceTimes with Will. What you don't expect is the way Mack looks at you. Or the way he looks at Will. It starts small. Lingering glances. A touch that lasts a little too long. Jokes that land with a flush of heat. But soon, you're caught in something that feels like more than just friendship-something magnetic, fragile, and impossible to ignore. Three hearts. One shot. And the question no one's brave enough to ask: what if love doesn't have to choose?
