After her ratings collapse, journalist Y/N L/N is desperate for a comeback story. Billy Russo, a ruthless CEO fighting to repair his public image before landing major investors, needs the world to see him as more than a headline. So when their unexpected chemistry goes viral, his PR team proposes a fake relationship: staged dates, paparazzi shots, and carefully crafted romance for the cameras. Y/N gets her career revival. Billy gets the perfect image. But somewhere between fake kisses and late-night confessions, the line between performance and real feelings starts to disappear. And falling in love under the public eye may destroy them both.
Billy Russo is your best friend’s dad. After graduation, she convinces you to join her on an all paid resort trip with her father. You know he’s off limits, but after lots of longing stares, midnight beach walks, shared desserts, and a shirtless Billy on the beach, things get too hot between you.
When Detective Y/N L/N joins the NYPD’s new Cold Case Initiative, she chooses the one file everyone else avoids — a decades-old murder tangled in blood, politics, and the two men whispered about like urban legends. Men who don’t sit in city hall, but somehow own it anyway. Jigsaw and The Punisher. She’s warned to let it go. Warned that good detectives have disappeared over less. Warned that the case doesn’t stay buried without reason. But the deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes: this was never just a murder investigation. It’s a war wrapped in expensive suits, backroom deals, and violence sharp enough to gut Manhattan from the inside out. And the worst part? Billy watches her chase the truth and seems almost… interested.
