The Setup

Forget happily-ever-afters…

After a painful breakup, grumpy football star Jack Hayes is one sad beard and one tabloid headline away from swapping cleats for cave living. Ambitious fashion firebrand Coco Laurent doesn’t do frogs, fairytales, or feelings—not even if they come with designer labels.

They both need a little good press. This PR stunt? About to get very public—and very real.

What starts as a simple image rehab spirals into:

  • A supply closet encounter hotter than a Paris runway light.

  • Viral ship names neither of them asked for.

  • And one couture-clad Italian greyhound who is not impressed.

Fall into a story that
will make you laugh out loud in a room full of people,
swoon like you’re being kissed against a wall,
and root for a grumpy football player in freefall
who never stood a chance against a fiery French designer—
or the tiny dog who might be smarter than both of them combined.

    SAFETY, LOS ANGELES THUNDERBOLTS
    reluctant celebrity, and accidental beard-grower-in-chief

    “Pro tip: When America’s Rom-com Sweetheart dumps you for her spray-tanned, ass-hat co-star, you have two choices—go full hermit in a cave, surviving on berries and squirrel meat, or just stop shaving.

    I chose the latter.”

    FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR, COLLETTE
    fashion firebrand, and Jack Hayes’ fake girlfriend (for now…)

    “Our fake first kiss turns real the moment Jack groans against my mouth. No pretending, no artifice. Just heat. Just him. And I want more. We break apart to the sound of actual applause, because apparently we’ve become dinner theater for the entire rooftop.”
