About

Violet Sinclair is freshly heartbroken after being dumped by the captain of her high school’s ice hockey team. She’s decided: no more jocks. To show she really means it, she plans a scheme — she’ll fake-date her ex’s biggest rival, Reed Darling, captain of the Ransom Devils. Reed is intimidating, gorgeous, and has a reputation as a ruthless heartbreaker. Violet hopes this will send a message. 

But things don’t go as simply as Violet expects. As she spends time with Reed, she sees there’s more to him than the gossip — he’s earnest, perhaps kind, and not exactly what people assume. Meanwhile, Reed is intrigued by Violet and wants her to see the real him, not the bad-boy image. 

Violet’s challenge: balance her pride, her anger, her fear of being hurt again — all while grappling with rumors, social expectation, and her own assumptions about Reed. As the fake-dating setup develops, Violet starts to question her own rule about “never dating a jock,” and whether some rules are worth holding onto. Eventually, there’s a risk she’ll get hurt, or that her plan might fail emotionally rather than just be a temporary stunt.
