In a house wired with cameras and packed with secrets, sixteen strangers compete for $500,000, and nothing is off-limits. To win, you need strategy, charm, and perfect timing. But in a game where trust is currency and betrayal is expected, the real danger isn't getting played-it's getting close.
Skylar Nash has a plan.
The quick-witted game designer is a master at reading people, cracking jokes, and keeping things light. Make friends. Stay out of drama. Never show your cards. Easy.
But her plan shatters the moment Skylar's first-ever celebrity crush, walks through the door. The one she never expected to meet. Especially not here.
Suddenly, Skylar can't think straight. Every strategy slips. Every glance lingers. And the version of herself she's so good at performing starts to crack.
As alliances shift and secrets build, the game twists tighter. And in the quiet corners of the night-over shared tea and stolen looks-something real begins to spark. But falling for someone inside the house? That's the kind of move that gets you burned.
