The Setup

He's the league's greatest star. She's the architect of his success. Their biggest lie is about to become his favorite move.

At twenty-six, Sadie Reed is the power behind the throne. Poised, sharp, and flawlessly polished, she's built a reputation for closing the impossible deals. She has no room for error and even less for the professional headache that is her star client.

Jordan Hayes is twenty-eight, a basketball phenom, and a walking masterclass in competent chaos. He's spent years watching Sadie run his life with effortless precision, but he's tired of being just a line item on her itinerary.

When Sadie's career is threatened , Jordan executes an unplanned play: he announces their engagement to a live audience.

To save the agency, Sadie must play the role of the devoted fiancée. But while she's focused on the contract, Jordan is focused on her. The rules are strict, the stakes are millions, and the only thing more dangerous than the lie is how much he wants it to be true.
