Everyone on campus thinks they know what happened that night. When a viral video paints hockey star Chase Carter as the villain, student journalist Bella Moreno is determined to expose him. After years of watching powerful men escape accountability, Bella refuses to let another story disappear beneath the university’s silence. But Chase isn’t talking. Not to the media. Not to the internet. And definitely not to the fiery redhead who publicly challenged him during a press conference that sent the entire campus into chaos. Then comes an offer neither of them can refuse. Fake date for one semester. Repair Chase’s image. Give the public a story they’ll obsess over. For Bella, it’s the perfect opportunity to uncover the truth from the inside. For Chase, it’s the only chance to save his future before everything he’s worked for disappears. But somewhere between staged kisses, late-night confessions, and the pressure of living under constant public scrutiny, the lines between fake and real begin to blur. And when hidden footage, manipulation, and betrayal threaten to destroy them both, Bella and Chase are forced to confront a terrifying question: What if the truth was never what the public wanted in the first place?
