Down. Set. Hike.

After being cheated on by her husband, Blair Sullivan and her two kids packed up and moved to Nashville, Tennessee for a fresh start alongside her best friends Bri and John-Baptiste Boudreaux.  Blair spent her days at Bri's award winning coffee shop doing the marketing while also managing her own blog and social media accounts that went along with her "influencer" career she had stumbled into.  Life was simple.  Things were calm.  But then, life threw her a Hail Mary of a pass when Jax Elliot, quarterback of the Nashville Wildcats, came walking into the coffee shop.  Will Blair take a chance on the supermodel serial dating quarterback or guard her heart from what she knows would be a heartbreak that she might not come back from?

Jax Elliot had it all.  Pro football career.  Multi-million dollar endorsement deals.  Supermodels from around the globe vying for his heart.  But after becoming a dad, he decided he wanted more for him and his daughter than what fame had to offer.  Heading to pick up his best friend and favorite wide-receiver, John Baptiste Boudreaux, for practice, Jax wasn't prepared for the case of love at first sight that tackled him when he walked into the coffee shop and ran right into Blair Sullivan.  Is Blair the one he has been looking for or will a supermodel ex coming back into town pull him back to his old ways?

It's time for kickoff.  Let's play some football.

Joe Burrow is trying something new: being seen. Not Joe Burrow the quarterback everyone knows-but Joe the person. The one who reads philosophy books, thinks about more than football, and is finally ready to show a little more of himself. It's strategic, his team says: attend events, do appearances, offer glimpses of his real personality. Give the media something so they stop digging for everything. Y/N Y/L/N has always been seen-maybe too much. Fourteen million followers know about her bipolar disorder, her endometriosis, her therapy breakthroughs, her bad days and good ones. She built an empire on radical honesty because hiding almost killed her once. Authenticity made her famous-but it hasn't made love easy. Every partner adored her when she was shining. Every partner left when she wasn't. When she meets Joe at the Met Gala, neither knows who the other is. He's just a guy with a cufflink problem. She's just someone kind enough to help. A brief, genuine moment-before the chaos pulls them apart. Six months later, at the GQ Awards, they meet again. This time they know exactly who the other is-and that spark wasn't imagined. He's learning to be open. She's spent years living that way. He's realizing that being seen doesn't mean being consumed. She's learning that privacy isn't dishonesty-it's protection. They're not opposites; they're two people meeting in the middle. This is a story about timing, growth, and connection-about what happens when you meet someone right as you're both becoming who you're meant to be.

✨ What happens after the ending you thought was final? ✨ Some connections don't stay buried, no matter how deep you try to push them. Some people leave marks that never really fade, even when the love seems like it's gone. And sometimes - in the cities that hold all your history - you look up and there they are. The one you've been trying to forget. Joe and Riley's story didn't end when they thought it did. It just went quiet. Through anonymous gifts and careful distance, new hair colors and old wounds, they've both tried to move on while still carrying pieces of each other. But now? The walls they've built are cracking. Because some things - the way he still feels like home, the way she still makes him forget how to breathe - don't just disappear because you want them to. 💔 The sequel to Hide is about what it means to love someone twice. To rebuild trust from nothing. To choose each other again, knowing exactly how much it can hurt. 💔
