Betting on You
A love story that starts with heartbreak, a fake club night, and one very unexpected bet.
Valerie Woods isn't exactly living her dream life. Sure, she works in fashion-in New York City, no less-but most days she's just running errands, delivering heels, and dodging her past. That past includes a cheating ex-boyfriend, a backstabbing ex-best friend, and a promotion she never took because her heart was completely shattered.
Thank God for her besties, Betty and Lola, who have been there since high school-through every ugly cry, wine night, and breakup playlist.
Meanwhile, Jack Smith's life looks picture-perfect. Good job, cool dog, gym guy, whatever. He's got zero time for love... until his friend dares him to find a girlfriend at some fancy business event.
What neither Jack nor Valerie expects is to crash into each other-literally.
What starts as a random encounter turns into late-night walks, real conversations, and a connection they didn't see coming. But when past wounds and one stupid bet threaten to ruin it all, Valerie has to decide: can she take a chance on someone new, or will her fears win again?
Because sometimes love feels like a risk.
And sometimes... it's totally worth betting on.
