Juliana Fields flew home to finish a groundbreaking research project — and to win back the only man she ever loved. But the first night on a streamed dating show, she finds Gavan Boyd not as the scruffy childhood friend she remembers but as Boyd Group’s ruthless heir, arm-in-arm with dazzling influencer Emiliana Mueller. The cameras catch everything: a cold jaywalk of a rejection, a broken keepsake, and an online pile-on. Juliana could have walked away. Instead she signs up to reboot the same show that ruined her — this time with a promise to herself: control the narrative, protect her work, and expose the truth behind the staged romance that cost her seven years. Gavan, simmering with a year of regret, tries to reach her — too late. She’s built strength and a public platform. He has money and power. Emiliana has charm and a secret tie to their friend Grant Clayton. On a live set that never sleeps, alliances shift like ratings. Fake dates, engineered scandals, a surprise rival actor pretending to be Juliana’s fiancé, and a research breakthrough that tangles public acclaim with corporate greed — every episode tests loyalties and scars. Each chapter pushes Juliana to choose between the scientific future she’s earned and the raw, messy chance at love she never stopped wanting. Will Juliana reclaim the truth, the love she once lost, and the career she fought a year to secure — or will the cameras, lies, and someone else’s ambition burn everything she cares about? The game is live. Stakes are real.
