Keeper

The relationship might be fake, but the feelings have always been real.

After leaving an abusive home at seventeen, Kaia Philip has become known as 'the bad girl of Indian cricket'. Her infamy makes headlines more than her wins and the media finds every excuse to harass her. Stripped of her captaincy, dropped by her agent and suspended for the rest of the year, Kaia's life is now spinning out of control.

Varun Thomas's life is mostly in his control. Especially now that his abusive relationship is in the rearview. He spends most of his time being a protective older brother known for his broody good guy personality. It's better than being the creative stunted by the people who want to make money over building a quality video game.

When Kaia signs with a new agent and he recommends a fake relationship to spruce up her public image, she chooses Varun for the role. Nobody knows about their hot night three years ago or that they've secretly pined for each other since the first time they met. 

And he's the only one she trusts.

Staged dates and friendly flirting turn into hungry kisses and intense passion, slowly stripping the fake away from the relationship. Until bits and pieces of their pasts try to ruin what they're building.

Now they have to fight their demons or lose the only real thing in their lives.
