I fake-date a scandal-prone soccer star, practice one kiss, and accidentally make the tabloids honest.
Jalen Maddox is gorgeous, reckless, sponsor bait, and exactly the kind of man my manager says can save my image. I am supposed to smile, touch his arm, kiss him for cameras, and remember none of it is real.
Then our chemistry rehearsal gets too close. One staged almost-kiss goes viral, one match-day embrace feels possessive, and one jealous gala night ends with us forgetting the contract exists.
He shows me the man behind the headlines over late-night food and no cameras. He sees the exhaustion under my polish, and somehow that is worse than wanting him.
By the time I realize I have fallen for him, the breakup date is already waiting. Then someone leaks proof that this whole romance started fake.
And the worst part is, the only lie left may be pretending I can survive losing him.
Tropes: Fake dating, celebrity girlfriend, sports star x celebrity, scandal romance, public image romance, staged kisses become real, jealousy in public, forbidden attraction.
Spice level: 5/5, explicit.
Genre: Romance
