"Zyran, look at me. If you walk out that door with her, you can't come back," Roosevelt pleaded, her hand instinctively covering her stomach. Zyran paused, his hand on the doorknob, while his childhood sweetheart wept softly against his chest. He didn't look back. "She needs me, Roosevelt. You are strong; you can take care of yourself." The door clicked shut, sealing his decision. He didn't notice the blood trickling down Roosevelt's leg, nor did he hear her whisper, Roosevelt had everything a woman could want: beauty, a great reputation as a top interior designer, and a marriage to Zyran, the city's coldest and most elusive billionaire. Though Zyran spoke little and showed hardly any affection, Roosevelt loved him quietly. She believed his hardness was a shield she could one day break through. On the eve of their fourth anniversary, Roosevelt got the miracle she had hoped for: a positive pregnancy test. She dreamed of the moment his icy demeanor would warm into a smile, finally bringing their family together. But before she could share the news, the ghost of Zyran’s past returned. A fragile, teary-eyed woman from his youth reappeared, seeking his protection and time. As Zyran’s attention shifted, Roosevelt slipped into the background of her own marriage. She thought she could bear the neglect until a life-changing accident forced Zyran to choose between his wife and his past. He made his choice, and by the time the billionaire understood the weight of what he had lost, Roosevelt and the secret she carried was already gone.

The only thing more dangerous than a secret is the person you’re keeping it for. Lennox “Lenny” James has a simple plan for her senior year: stay invisible, graduate at the top of her class, and never, under any circumstances, look at a member of the university’s championship-winning football team. She’s seen how they hurt girls, and she still carries the scars from the last time she gave one a chance. Then comes Jace Callahan. He isn’t just the star quarterback; he’s the campus king, the NFL’s next golden boy, and, as of last night, the only witness to a mistake that could ruin Lenny’s future. Jace doesn’t want her money, and he doesn’t want her silence. He wants a fake girlfriend to fix his "bad boy" image before the draft. He decides Lenny is the perfect choice. The rules are simple: 1. Publicly love him. 2. Privately hate him. 3. Never forget it’s all a game. But as the line between their staged kisses and late-night arguments begins to blur, Lenny realizes Jace isn't the villain she thought he was. He’s something much worse: the only person who can truly break what little is left of her heart. He’s playing for keeps, she’s just trying to survive the season.
