Brianna Granger, a dedicated sports journalist, has always stayed on the sidelines-professionally and personally. Her life takes an unexpected turn when her childhood best friend, Elena, invites her to be the maid of honor at her wedding to Brianna's ex-boyfriend, Chris. But this isn't just any wedding-it's Brianna's dream wedding, the one she had envisioned for herself..

Meanwhile, Alex Cooperfield, a star soccer player with a reputation for partying and dating beautiful women, finds himself in need of some good press. With the league finals approaching and the team directors unhappy with his off-field behavior, Alex is desperate to clean up his image. When his path crosses with Brianna's, the two strike a deal-pretend to date and use the media attention to their advantage. For Alex, it's a chance to show he's more than just a playboy, and for Brianna, it's an opportunity to prove she's more than just a shadow in Elena's spotlight.

But as their fake relationship draws them closer, the lines between pretense and reality begin to blur. Brianna and Alex must navigate their growing feelings for each other while confronting their pasts and the pressures of their very different worlds. What starts as a mutually beneficial arrangement soon becomes a complicated dance of love, ambition, and vulnerability.

In a world where everything is for show, can Brianna and Alex find something real?

FREE STORY. PAID BONUS CHAPTERS. DANGEROUS. BEAUTIFUL. SURREAL. Those were the words Jodie Henning used to describe the man she fell in love with, the first time she met him. HAZEL. BLACK. CRIMSON. Those were the colors she associated with his bright eyes, his long dark waves of hair and the scars on his back and upper chest. GUTTURAL. PRIMAL. SELFLESS. Those were the words she used to describe her time in bed with him, a time that edged itself into her memory, a time she continued to dream about for days and months afterwards. PAIN. HURT. RED. Those were everything she felt on his wedding day; throat closing, on the verge of tears, overwhelming sadness and pure pain. A SADDENING GLIMPSE OF HOPE That was what she felt when he came up behind her and whispered Shakespearean promises into her yearning ear. ALEXANDER MATEO HIDALGO III also known as Alex Clayton, number 77, left forward for the Seattle Kraken. But that changed since he got married, he barely shows up for shows or red carpets.

REWRITTEN Fia Romero thought her life was perfectly content - until she met Wes Hamilton, her boyfriend Nate's devilishly handsome dorm mate. While Fia had been blissfully ensconced in a committed three-year relationship, Wes didn't believe in tying himself down. For him, college was a buffet of options to be explored and experienced to the fullest without the constraints of commitment. Their unlikely friendship blossomed from an outrageous proposition - Wes wanted Fia to be his matchmaker and find him a girl worth forsaking his wild ways for. What started as an innocent game between polar opposites soon ignited an undeniable chemistry that neither could ignore, no matter how hard they tried. What started as match-making turned into a fake-dating relationship, leading to confused feelings and room-fulls of tension. With each coy smile, each heated exchange of banter, the lines between reality and reckless desire began to blur. Suddenly, Fia found herself questioning everything she thought she knew about love, commitment, and the person she believed was her soulmate. A little game of playing Cupid turns into something more and maybe, the person who has always been the one for you was standing right under your nose the whole time.
