He's (NOT) The One
Not yet published
Expected 1 Dec 26Alex Reyes, a washed-up pop star, joins the queer dating show The One to resurrect his career. He’s planning to fake a perfect love story for the cameras—until he’s undone by the only contestant who refuses to follow the plans.
Jaime Ford, a cynical bartender, is cast as the season’s villain. He sees straight through Alex’s performance and twists it to his advantage. After all—he’s just there for the paycheck.
When their staged connection (a flashy on-camera romance) turns into real chemistry, they must decide whether real love is worth getting in the way of everything they want from the outside world.
HE’S (NOT) THE ONE is a sharp, joyful, reality-TV romcom with enemies-to-lovers crackle and high-heat chemistry.

Holy crap this bio was so good! The plot was fantastic. It was original and fun. It had the perfect twists you won’t see coming and the characters are absolutely adorable. I am so excited for more from the side characters cause this really has me hooked! Love if!

Oh my goodness!!! This was such a good read. I loved the snark, the banter, the cuteness. It was loaded with everything I love about a romcom. The side characters were great too. The plot twists were unreal and I can’t decide who I loved more out of Alex and Jaime. Great read

Genuinely loved every moment of this! I did not want to put it down once I started and ended up finishing within 24hrs. It was spicy, funny, dramatic and everything in between!
