In the game of love, sometimes the best play is a fake... I’m Zayden Northcutt, star wide receiver with a reputation for scoring—on and off the field. Life’s a game, and I play to win. But when one scandalous photo threatens to bench my career, I need a quick Hail Mary to save my season. Enter Kinsley Cruz—better known as Kamikaze Kinz, the social media queen who thrives on chaos and adrenaline. Her solution? A fake relationship. She’ll fix my image, and I’ll give her followers the love story of a lifetime. Win-win, right? Except fake doesn’t feel so fake when Kinsley’s around. Beneath her wild exterior is a woman who’s got my heart racing faster than any touchdown ever could. She’s everything I never knew I wanted. But Kinsley’s hiding something, and my trust issues are ready to throw a flag. The closer we get, the harder it is to tell what’s real and what’s just for show. Now, I’m playing for more than just my career. I’m playing for her—for us. And this time? I’m not letting her go without a fight. Because the thing about a False Start? Sometimes it’s the setup for an epic comeback.
