When NBA star LaMelo Ball finds himself at the center of a PR disaster-again-the internet is ready to cancel him for good. Cocky, untouchable, and reckless, his public image is in flames after a viral nightclub incident. Desperate to save face, his team comes up with a last-ditch solution: fake a wholesome engagement with someone America can't help but love.

Enter Zoei Lawrence-content creator, fashion "it girl," and assistant to a high-powered WWE Docyor. Known for her no-nonsense attitude and effortless charm, Zoei is the perfect distraction. Except for one problem: she can't stand LaMelo. And the feeling is very mutual.

Thrust into staged photo shoots, joint interviews, and a shared house that definitely wasn't part of the contract, Zoei and LaMelo are forced to keep up appearances. But as passive-aggressive digs turn into heated glances and fake kisses start to feel dangerously real, lines blur and secrets unravel.

Because in the world of fame and fantasy, pretending can get messy.
And the thing about hate?
Sometimes it sounds a lot like foreplay.All Rights Reserved

His Fake fiancé by letsomebodygo15

Needs to be heavily edited lmao (first wrote when I was like 15) Now, I'm alone with the beast . He stares into my soul causing me to gulp. "You're going to do something for me." He rounds his desk, coming to a stop in front of me. His body towering over my seated self. I look forward facing his crotch, the bulge in his pants making itself known. I make eye contact with him, an evil smirk, he says one word, "suck." .... Grayson Black is the definition of playboy. Unfortunately when owning a large and successful company, image matters especially when your only 27, so he decided to 'commit' himself to a relationship to prove that he's changed his ways. Except the woman he 'commits' himself to is his assistant. When feelings begin to grow on one end and there's a secret surprise on the way, what happens? #15 in romance #1 in employee #2 CEO #1 baby #1 fake love #1 in love life

Claimed |1| by itsHaley_D

In a world full of gangs, drugs, violence, claims, it doesn't surprise me how many people feel unsafe with the little information that the media gives about it. I was scared at first too, even though I was learning how the underground criminal activity worked for a report I was writing in school. I never thought I'd be the one to tell a story on how I got claimed and how I grew to love my life as claim better than the one previously. * Katherine Jade Amour was your average college student, she was popular, she was acing her classes, and was on her way of living her dream as being an FBI agent to try to help stop the gang activity in California little did she know she was going to be in the center of it. One day when she's at work the one and only LaMelo Ball came strolling in, Katherine was mesmerized by his charming words. Little did she know that it was him the violent gang leader who has killed more people then she could count. It isn't long before he comes into the store regularly when she's at work or showing up at her school bearing presents trying to get to know her. Katherine was completely under his spell until the night she was claimed. Walking home from work had always been a simple safe task until she realized she was being followed and took another path then normal. When she finally thought she lost whoever was following her, she was grabbed by the one and only LaMelo Ball and he took his claim to her. Will Katherine be able to escape the serial killer, the dangerous gang leader? Or will she fall in love with him? Is Katherine's life in more danger then she ever thought it would be? Or would LaMelo die to protect her? Will this claim be the end of her or the beginning of a new life?

More than lies by Elizstoriz

Maya Reyes never meant to fake-date a celebrity. She's just the sarcastic, volleyball-playing girl-next-door with a secret passion for music and a tendency to keep people at arm's length. But when her best friend-and rising star athlete-Malakai Ward panics at a charity auction and begs her to win a date with him (to avoid his obsessive ex), she agrees. What starts as a favor spirals into headlines, rumors, and one very inconvenient PR stunt: pretend to be in love. For real. To the world, they're the perfect couple. To their close-knit friend group? Just friends. To Maya? A safe way to bring a fake boyfriend to her ex's wedding without any messy feelings. But as she helps Malakai navigate his anxiety and he pushes her to release music under a secret pseudonym, the lines blur-and faking it gets harder. Then the secrets unravel: her hidden music career, the little sister she's raising in silence, and the grief she never talks about. Malakai falls first. Maya falls harder. And when the truth finally breaks them apart, they'll both have to choose between fear and vulnerability, pride and forgiveness, pretending and something real. Because sometimes, the most beautiful love stories begin with a lie.

FOUL PLAY | LAMELO BALL by gurjanova

Basketball was in her blood, but LaMelo Ball made her want to set the whole damn court on fire. Theresa Young doesn't play games. She runs things quietly from the sidelines, calling shots behind the camera while the league watches her brother light up the court. Her situationship with Jalen Johnson? Chill. Uncomplicated. Safe. But when Charlotte's finest shows up with that cocky grin and too much swagger for one man, everything changes. LaMelo Ball is all attitude and bad timing. He gets under her skin-then under her guard. What starts as petty jabs and passive glances turns into something hotter, heavier, harder to ignore. Now Jalen's noticing. LaMelo's circling. And Theresa's stuck between the boy who never claimed her and the one who might just ruin her carefully built peace. The pressure's building. The season's heating up. And some fouls don't get called until it's too late. DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction. While it includes real-life figures and settings, not everything will align with how things are in real life. Some details have been changed, imagined, or exaggerated for the sake of the story.

Feining by burntlettersxx

Ariella Hendrix had one rule for surviving senior year: stay focused and stay invisible. As the soon-to-be valedictorian - and daughter of the principal - she had no time for parties, drama, or cocky basketball players with too much swagger and not enough GPA. LaMelo Ball had one goal: the NBA. School? Not on his radar. Homework? Never heard of her. But when failing grades put his season - and his draft dreams - on the line, the last person he expected to be stuck with was quiet, perfect Ariella Hendrix. She's been in love with him for years. He's just noticing her now. Between late-night study sessions, loud team parties, and her twin brother breathing down their necks, the line between helping him pass and catching feelings gets thinner by the day. And the closer they get, the harder it is to hide it from the one man who can ruin it all - her dad. In senior year, everyone's chasing something. For them, it might just be each other.
