“I kind of hate this game.” I’ve spent my whole life proving I’m more than what people see—more than the girl who doesn’t quite fit the mold. Then I get cast on a reality show. I finally have the chance to prove it. I can handle the strategy. I can even handle the challenges. But trusting someone? That’s where things get tricky. Especially when that someone is Jerom. Because the more time I spend with him, the harder it is to tell what’s real…and what is just part of the game. Winning has never been a question for me—it’s the expectation. But on this reality show, there are no shortcuts, no guarantees, and no way to stay in control of everything. Especially not when a simple dance on the beach turns into something I didn’t see coming. Paisleigh makes me question the way I play the game…even the way I live my life. And for the first time, I’m not sure which risk matters more—the one that could cost me the win, or the one that could cost me her. In a game built on strategy, secrets, and shifting alliances, trusting the wrong person can send you home. But trusting the right one? That might just change everything.
