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?
