KING

About this book

He offered her a contract. She offered him a clause: no feelings.

They both signed it. They were both wrong.

Harper Reed is two weeks away from being kicked out of Westfall University. Drowning in tuition debt and abandoned by her father, she’s out of options. That is, until she literally crashes into Jaxon King—spilling cheap coffee all over his two-thousand-dollar custom suit. He’s arrogant, cold, and everything she despises. He’s also her only hope.

Jaxon "The Ice King" King is college basketball royalty. He has the stats, the wealth, and a one-way ticket to the NBA draft. But he has a problem: the scouts think he’s a robot without a heart, and his sponsorship deals are on the line. He needs an image rehab, fast. He needs a girlfriend who makes him look human.

The Proposal: A three-month contract. Jax pays off Harper’s debts. Harper plays the role of his adoring girlfriend for the cameras.

The Rules:
• Public affection only.
• No interference in personal lives.
• Absolutely no falling in love.

It should be easy. They are complete opposites. He’s obsessed with control; she’s pure chaos. But as Harper sees the cracks in Jax’s perfect armor, and Jax realizes that she is the only person who sees him and not the star, the lines between business and pleasure begin to blur.

When the fake kisses start feeling real, they both realize that the penalty for breaking this contract might be a broken heart.

KING is a standalone Grumpy x Sunshine sports romance featuring a fake relationship, a broody basketball star, and the chaotic art student who brings him to the knees.
