Synopsis

“Try me.” That’s what Drake Bennett said when I declared on my live podcast that no man could make me fall in love . The former pro football star turned sportscaster didn’t just laugh—he challenged my entire brand. Gianna Knows Things is built on the idea that love is a choice. Drake says it’s a feeling—a magical, uncontrollable, world-shifting experience. I call BS. He says I’m scared. The audacity. So, we make a bet. Six weeks of dating … in front of millions of listeners. If I don’t fall for him, I win. If I do … don’t worry. Not going to happen. I expected spicy nights and viral ratings . What I didn’t expect was thoughtful surprises, spontaneous affection, and moments that make my heart do strange things. Drake isn’t who I thought he was, and I can’t tell what scares me more: that he’s been playing me all along or that I’m wrong about love . Either way, someone’s about to get hurt—and I hope it's not me. __________ Tropes: Podcaster / Sportscaster Dating Bet “Fake” Dating Slow Burn Found Family Romantic Comedy (with emotion!)
