⸻ Paige Bueckers thought the hardest part of joining the Phoenix Mercury would be adjusting to a new system, a new city, and a new role. She was wrong. Her past refuses to stay buried-an ex who won't take the hint, headlines that won't let her move on, and a spotlight that makes walking away feel impossible. So when things start getting uncomfortable, Paige makes a decision meant to be simple, temporary, and strictly fake. Enter Scarlett Rios-her teammate. Calm. Controlled. Untouchable. The kind of player who never looks rattled and never explains herself. Pretending to date Scarlett is supposed to be easy: a few public appearances, a few well-timed touches, enough to make the message clear. It works. Too well. Because somewhere between late-night flights, quiet support after tough games, and the safety of someone who always has her back, Paige realizes the lines are blurring. What started as protection becomes comfort. What was never meant to be real starts to feel like the most honest thing in her life. And now Paige has to face the one thing she didn't plan for- falling in love with the one person she was never supposed to. ⸻
