A sizzling enemies-to-lovers, fake relationship, sports romance set in modern-day London.
Some people move to a new neighborhood for a fresh start.
I moved to Briarwood Street to escape my past.
The last person I expect to see living across the hall is Mason Reed — a world-famous rugby star with a reputation as dangerous as his charm. Years ago, we shared one unforgettable summer… and one unforgettable betrayal. Now, he looks at me like I’m the villain in his story.
When a scandal threatens Mason’s career, he needs a clean image.
When my own life starts falling apart, I need stability.
One reckless idea solves both problems: we pretend to be together.
The rules are simple.
No touching.
No real feelings.
No revisiting the past.
But fake smiles turn into late-night confessions.
Stolen glances become heated arguments.
And enemies start feeling a lot like something else entirely.
Because some flames don’t die out —
They wait for the perfect moment to burn again.
