She exposed his marriage scandal on live radio. He swore he'd never forgive her. But when they start talking anonymously online . . .

Bellamy Barnes just wants to forget the mess that cost her everything. Her radio show, her reputation, and any shred of faith in emotionally unavailable men. The last thing she needs is her sister's infuriating neighbor—professional basketball star Cole Howard—calling her "Bella" and looking at her like she's the enemy.

Cole Howard has one rule after his very public, very expensive divorce. No drama. Which means staying far away from his neighbor Bellamy, the journalist who made a career out of exposing scandals exactly like his. She's beautiful, sharp–tongued, and everything he should avoid. But online? That's different.

Cole escapes through an anonymous culinary account where he shares his passion for food with a stranger who sees him for more than his jump shot.

Bellamy finds refuge in late–night conversations with an anonymous cook who makes her believe in connection again. Neither knows who's on the other side of the screen.

As their messages turn from flirty to something deeper, their real-world clashes grow more heated. When the truth comes out, will they choose the connection they built in secret—or let old wounds destroy their second chance?
