THE PERFECT CATCH: A College Sports Fake Dating Romance

He needed a fake girlfriend to save his future. She needed the story that could change her life. Falling in love was never part of the deal.

Riley Brooks is one documentary away from landing the ESPN internship she's dreamed about for years. But after a viral scandal rocks Riverside University's football program, the team's star quarterback is off-limits to every reporter, filmmaker, and journalist on campus.

Including her.

Chase Lancaster has bigger problems than bad headlines.

A single viral mistake has put his NFL future, endorsement deals, and first-round draft hopes at risk. His agent has the perfect solution: clean up his image with a fake relationship that the media—and the scouts—will believe.

There's only one woman Chase wants by his side.

Riley.

His offer is impossible to ignore.

Play his fake girlfriend until the NFL Draft, and she'll get exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the team for the documentary that could launch her career.

One deal.

One season.

One rule: Don't fall in love.

But fake dates become real memories.

Late-night road trips.

Locker room victories.

Quiet moments away from the cameras.

And every day, pretending becomes a little harder.

Chase falls first—and he falls hard.

Riley knows that choosing love could cost her the career she's sacrificed everything to build.

When the truth behind their relationship explodes across social media, both of them are forced to decide what matters more: the futures they've spent years chasing... or the one person they never expected to need.
