Colt Brooks has lived a life people dream about. Platinum records, Grammy wins, women throwing themselves at him. But nothing tastes as sweet when it's built on a lie - a lie he can't forget. Seven years ago, he betrayed the one man who believed in him. Rhett Carter may have forgiven him, but Colt hasn't forgiven himself. Watching Rhett marry Callie-the kind of woman who sees your scars and stays anyway-wrecked him in ways he's only now admitting.. Enter Maisie Quinn-a fiercely independent, sarcastic-as-hell single mom who's just inherited a failing honky-tonk. She doesn't give a damn about country music or the Colt Brooks legacy. She's just trying to rebuild something real for her and her daughter. But when Colt stops into her bar one night-half-curious, half-avoiding his latest PR mess-he doesn't expect to be humbled by a woman who calls him out, shuts him down, and sees straight through him. She's got walls. So does he. But music has always been Colt's way of telling the truth-and Maisie might just be the song he's been too scared to write.. This is a standalone romance set within The TDX Series - a collection of interconnected love stories based in the world of Nashville's most iconic record label. This is Book Two if you're reading in series order.

Controlled. And far more dangerous than she looks. Kai Murphy doesn't do careful. Reckless, magnetic, and completely untamed, he lives like he has nothing to lose-and maybe he doesn't.

A campus built on roaring hockey games, crowded parties, and reputations that can make or break you before you even graduate. Sienna Monroe used to know who she was. But after a breakup that slowly stripped her of herself, she's left trying to rebuild something she no longer fully recognises. At Vale, everyone seems louder, more put-together-and Sienna feels like she's constantly one step behind. Grayson Knox, captain of the university hockey team, lives in a completely different world. Confident, cocky, and untouchable on the ice, he's exactly the kind of player scouts watch closely- the kind who is supposed to make it to the NHL. And right now, every decision he makes off the ice matters just as much as what he does on it. Because his image is slipping. Rumours. Rivalries. Headlines that could ruin his draft future before it even begins. So when what's supposed to just be a feature piece written about him by Sienna turns into rumors, he doesn't deny it, not when his career is on the line. What starts as a convenient lie quickly turns into something neither of them fully planned for- fake dating to control the narrative, clean up his reputation, and silence the noise that's threatening his future. No feelings. No complications. No breaking the rules. It's supposed to be temporary. Simple. But at Vale University, nothing stays simple for long. Not when everyone is watching. Not when her ex- boyfriend's biggest rival is still very much in the picture. And definitely not when the line between what's real and what's pretend starts to blur in ways neither of them expected. Because Grayson Knox has spent his whole life learning how to win. But Sienna Monroe might be the one thing he can't control. •.•.•.•.• HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 in fakedating #1 in sportsromance
