When I joined a dating show to repair my reputation, the last thing I expected was to fall for the quiet investor who called his work "a few small bets." Noah Reed made me laugh without asking for a kiss, remembered what I said when the cameras were off, and seemed to see the woman beneath the headlines. Then I learned he had a stake in the company shaping our story—and that my most private moments could become the show's biggest selling point. I could protect my career by playing along, or risk everything by refusing to let strangers decide what our relationship meant. But if Noah had helped build the trap, could I ever trust what happened between us?
