Under The Lights

After a devastating breakup leaves her guarded and cautious of love, Blair heads on a much-needed vacation with her best friend--expecting sun, cocktails, and distraction. What she doesn't expect is to end up flirting with NFL superstar Joe Burrow at a bar.

What starts as playful banter quickly turns electric when Blair pretends not to know who he is at first, and Joe--used to being idolized and exploited realizes she isn't after fame, a picture, or a story. For the first time, he meets someone who sees him, not the celebrity version of him the world consumes.

But Blair's heart is still healing, and Joe's life is chaotic, demanding, and always in the spotlight. Their connection sparks in a way neither expected, forcing Blair to confront the fear of letting someone in again and Joe to decide how far he'll go for the girl who didn't chase first.

A slow-burn romance about second chances, unexpected chemistry, and learning to trust again, this story follows two people navigating heartbreak, fame, and the terrifying possibility that what they've found might actually be real.
