When the cameras stop

Stephanie Brown didn't come to California for love, she came for power. Fresh out of Harvard Law and ready to make her mark as the newest legal hire for the San Diego Infernos, she expected chaos, contracts and the kind of clients who smiled for cameras but signed deals with secrets. What she didn't expect... was him.

Nate Davis is the Infernos' golden boy, NFL royalty with a jawline built for billboards and a reputation as messy as his game is clean. He plays hard, lives harder and follows one rule: never get too close. But when he meets Stephanie, sparks fly, tempers flare and suddenly, the rules don't seem so untouchable.

What starts as a collision of ambition and attraction turns into a twisted game of tension, secrets, and stolen moments behind closed doors. She's the no-nonsense lawyer with a sharp tongue. He's the star athlete used to getting whatever he wants. The only problem?
He wants her.
And she refuses to play safe.

But in a world where image is everything and love is a liability, how far can they go before everything, careers, reputations, and hearts goes up in flames?

Love was never part of the contract.
But neither were lies, jealousy... or headlines.
