He's the Public Titan. She's the ultimate Fixer. But behind closed doors, the script is about to burn.
Cade Sterling is the untouchable king of the Chicago Cougars-a machine of athletic precision who doesn't do "emotions." But after a viral scandal threatens his legacy, the team's eighty-million-dollar asset is looking like a total liability. To save his career, he needs a miracle. He needs Margot Rossi.
Margot is the sharpest PR strategist in the business. She knows how to humanize the impossible and spin a scandal into a success story. Her plan is foolproof: a season of high-stakes fake dating to soften Cade's image and secure his contract. It's strictly business. A professional performance. A perfectly curated lie.
Except for the one detail Margot didn't account for.
The Titan isn't just playing along. Behind the stoic mask and the silver jersey, Cade has been secretly obsessed with Margot since the day they met. For her, this is a career-defining "fix." For him, this is the only play that matters-and he's playing for keeps.
As the cameras roll and the world buys the act, the private tension reaches a flashpoint. In the silence of locker rooms and the shadows of hotel suites, the "machine" crumbles, revealing a man who is utterly, dangerously devoted.
Now, Margot is the one losing control of the narrative. When the lines between the script and the truth finally shatter, she must decide: is she saving his reputation, or is she losing her heart?
Sophisticated, witty, and intensely emotional, Off-Script Devotion is a slow-burn sports romance that proves some things are too real to be managed.
