Scoring My Publicist

One viral video. One high-stakes fake relationship. Six weeks to save her career without losing her heart.

Sage Morales has spent nine years playing it safe. As the star striker for the New York Comets, her rulebook is simple: dominate the pitch, provide for her family, and keep her private life completely invisible. But when an eleven-second video of an argument with an ex goes viral, the internet brands her a reckless player, sponsors freeze her contracts, and her club threatens a trade.

Enter Dahlia Kim.

Sharp, impeccably tailored, and ruthlessly competent, the elite crisis PR strategist specializes in fixing impossible scandals. Dahlia’s blueprint to rehabilitate Sage’s reputation is straightforward: six weeks of low-key, photogenic domesticity with a visible partner to bore the media into submission.

There’s just one problem: Sage refuses to fake intimacy with a stranger—she only trusts Dahlia.

Dahlia establishes strict terms: zero private intimacy, staged physical contact only, and an ironclad expiration date. But as staged hand-holding turns into stolen touches, shared hotel beds, and electric tension behind closed doors, the line between strategy and reality completely dissolves.

With front-office politics threatening Sage’s career and old scars testing Dahlia’s defenses, both women must decide if staying safe is worth the cost—or if love is the one game worth risking everything for.
