Publicity Stunt

‘He was going to reject me.’ My stomach twisted violently. Why had I thought this was a good idea? My palms grew clammy around the ring, my mind screaming at me to retreat, to salvage what little dignity I had left. ‘What kind of person pulls a stunt like this?!’ My own voice taunted me mercilessly. ‘This is it, Claire. Game over.’ But instead of the anticipated rejection, Giancarlo reached out—his hand brushing mine, sending a jolt up my arm as he plucked the ring from my fingers. The motion was fluid, deliberate, like he’d done it before—and then… “I do,” he said simply, his voice steady as he slid the ring onto his finger yh with mad confidence. ~~~ Claire Bennett’s perfect Valentine’s Day proposal ends in a disaster when she catches her boyfriend with another woman.

Fake dating was supposed to be easy… until it got personal. Xavier Kesh is hockey’s golden boy—lightning-fast on the ice, dangerously charming off it, and the face of England’s next sports dynasty. With a billionaire legacy behind him and championship medals in front, he’s got the world at his feet and his girlfriend, Katrina Brown, right beside him. But when Melissa Brown—Katrina’s younger sister, runway model, and fellow hockey teammateenters a fake relationship with Xavier to boost her modeling career, the game changes. What starts as a publicity stunt for a brand deal spirals into a chemistry neither of them can ignore. Melissa’s only goal was to win the Miss England crown and finally prove she’s more than just a pretty face in a hockey jersey.

The sister who always put family first becomes the one set on revenge, determined to make them both pay—for the betrayal, the lies, and the love that was never meant to be.

Ten years ago, the Harrington family went through a home invasion. My mother, a maid, shielded Liam with her life. Holding my hands tight, Liam promised, "Andrea, don't worry. I'll protect you forever." I believed him. Our bond grew naturally, and we had a beautiful daughter together. Then, she was diagnosed with leukemia. In her last days, all she wanted was to spend one birthday with her dad. I called him, desperate to make it happen. "Millie doesn't have much time left. All she wants is one birthday with you. Can you come?" His voice on the other end went icy. "Really? This your latest stunt? Using your dead mom wasn't enough, now it's our daughter for pity? Disgusting." I tried to deny it, but he cut me off. "Don't mess with her head. Learn from Vivian—she's got a real heart." That night, our daughter passed away. Later, Vivian posted on social media: [Finally taking that couples' trip someone promised me!] I didn't scream. I didn't cry. I just texted Liam: [We're done.]
