Shoot (Breaking Kayfabe)

Maisie Hughes is tired of almosts – almost viral, almost successful, almost enough. She’s one viral hit away from proving to her boyfriend (and herself) that her dreams are worth chasing. So, she picks the darkest rabbit hole she can find: Black Rite Pro, a wrestling promotion rotting with rumors.

At its rotten core sits Gareth Grimsley, the fallen golden boy, who lost his career and his fiancée all in one year. He doesn’t do interviews. He doesn’t do trust. He definitely doesn’t do sunshine content creators armed with never-ending questions and relentless optimism.

Maisie says she wants to tell his story. And she does, just not the one he thinks.

Gareth’s grief isn’t the only thing haunting Black Rite, and the more time Maisie spends with him, the more the case wiggles into her heart. She finds a man who’s not as broken as he thinks.

And a truth someone would kill to keep buried.o tell his story.

Shoot is an age-gap, grumpy x sunshine romance with a slow burn.
