33 parts Complete Charlisse Black has built her beauty empire, Glistre, from scratch at just 22. She's untouchable in business, but privately struggles with anxiety and the constant pressure of being a young woman at the top. When she launches her newest collection, the invite-only event is supposed to be perfect - until he shows up.
Kayvan Wade, star of the Ravens basketball team, only ends up at the event because his influencer sister drags him along as her plus-one. He's used to being the center of attention, but when Charlisse brushes him off with zero interest (and maybe a little shade), he's instantly obsessed. For the first time, someone sees right through the charm - and doesn't care.
When the press catches an unexpected photo of them together, rumors swirl:
Is the basketball star dating the beauty queen?
Now, to protect Glistre's image and Kayvan's reputation, Charlisse and Kayvan are pushed into a fake-dating arrangement. The more time they spend together - photoshoots, games, brand collabs, PR stunts - the harder it becomes to keep the lines clear.
