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. The only place he can be spotted is the gym or the rink, with punching bags or hockey sticks. However, Alex is done playing by the book, he's done denying himself what he wants, what he needs. It's been four whole years, would she give him a chance to explain? Would she want to be a part of his dangerous world? Would she fall in love with him all over again? After all, she was the first person he opened up to, the first woman to see him for him; and for the first time in his entire life, he was scared of something that wasn't his life or duties to his family. It was a different kind of love, a love that burned mansions and cities, a Love that sparked with intimacy so much greater than sex. Four years isn't long enough to forget, is it?

For Rachel Beckett the Olympics was a huge defining moment in her life, something she had been working tirelessly towards since she was five years old. Winning that gold medal meant everything to her and when she finally got there and choked, her life was turned upside down. What do you do when everything you've worked for your whole life is gone and you instantly go from being America's Sweetheart to a laughing stock? Well I can tell you what Rachel did. She ran. She moved to Texas, changed her hair color, started going by her middle name and tried to forget she ever did figure skating. When she finally went back to her hometown three years later to visit her family, she ran into her old figure skating coach and he convinced her that she could have a second chance to make her dream of Olympic gold happen. Falling in love with the new hockey coach wasn't part of the plan. Making her comeback ended up being a lot harder than she thought it would be, especially when family turmoil, anxiety, tragedy and love get in the way, but maybe a second chance and someone to believe in her is all she needs to make it happen. **** Very mature themes & sexual content - 18+ only!
