Sophia Brooks may have millions of likes on her style videos and a perfectly curated life, but she's determined to prove she's more than an Instagram feed. Her first year at Columbia Law was all about discipline, focus, and avoiding drama, but her dream summer internship with a top sports agency throws her straight into it.
Her first client meeting? Cooper Cole - the 29-year-old star pitcher for the New York Yankees. Charismatic, infuriating, and the city's favorite headline-maker, Cooper is both the agency's crown jewel and its biggest liability. When Sophia publicly calls him, the clip goes viral... and Cooper finds it hilarious.
The agency assigns Sophia to help manage Cooper's endorsements and sponsorship negotiations as part of damage control. But per the company's very strict code of conduct, personal relationships with clients are off-limits. Which would be fine-if Cooper weren't annoyingly perceptive, unexpectedly kind when the cameras aren't around, and completely incapable of leaving her alone.

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.

Lie to me
Olivia Winters is ambitious, creative, and unapologetically herself. As a fashion design student, she has a keen eye for style and a natural talent for sketching women's clothing. She's independent, outspoken, and not easily impressed, which makes her a challenge for anyone trying to get close to her. Olivia has a sharp wit and isn't afraid to speak her mind, but underneath her tough exterior, she has a vulnerable side that she doesn't let many people see. Lucas Foster is confident, athletic, and effortlessly charming. As a college soccer player, he's competitive and driven, but when it comes to Olivia, she's the only game he can't seem to win easily. He's flirtatious and persistent, always ready with a cocky grin and a teasing remark. While he may seem laid-back on the surface, he's deeply loyal and protective of the people he cares about. ** Olivia and Lucas have a relationship filled with tension, banter, and undeniable chemistry. From the moment they met, sparks flew-sometimes in the form of heated arguments, sometimes in stolen glances that neither of them wanted to acknowledge. Their dynamic is electric, built on playful challenges and moments that gradually chip away at Olivia's walls. Lucas is relentless in his pursuit, but Olivia makes him work for every inch. She challenges him, keeps him on his toes, and refuses to fall for his usual charm. But beneath all the teasing and push-and-pull, there's something real-something neither of them can ignore. Their love story unfolds over the summer, a season of late-night conversations, unexpected moments, and the kind of slow burn that makes every touch, every glance, and every kiss feel like a victory. They may drive each other crazy, but at the end of the day, there's no one else who makes them feel more alive. Started-07/06/24 Ended - 02/21/25Complete
