Thirst Traps Series

THIRST TRAPS

Contemporary Romance / Domestic Drama / Social-Media Satire

3-Book Series • Venice Beach • 194,422 Words • HEA in Every Book

Privacy is the only rule. Visibility is the weapon. And in the fitness-influencer world of Venice Beach, love is the one thing no algorithm can control.

 

Theo Katsaros built his empire on discipline: clean lifts, clinical content, and a privacy policy that keeps three million followers at arm’s length. His Venice Beach gym is home base for a tight circle of fitness creators—Felix Rivera, the charismatic face of the brand; Jude Park, the quiet analyst who watches everything. Then one unauthorized photo shatters every boundary they’ve built, and the fallout drags them all into a war between privacy and exposure, career and connection, survival and surrender.

The algorithms break. The chosen family holds. And love becomes the thing no contract can commodify.

 

Book 1 — The Thirst Trap (Felix & Sloane)

Privacy is his only rule. She’s the reason it breaks.

Felix Rivera—charismatic, impulsive, and incapable of keeping a straight face around a beautiful woman—meets Sloane Beckett, a privacy-conscious consultant who wants nothing to do with influencer culture. Then Anya posts a photo that puts Sloane’s face in front of millions—and the viral fallout begins.

As sponsors terminate contracts, gossip sites dissect their lives, and a stalker from photographer Harper Voss’s past resurfaces, the group is forced into escalating choices. Felix sacrifices his platform to shield Sloane. Theo stages a fake relationship with Harper to deter her stalker.

And Anya’s betrayal detonates the trust holding them all together—scattering the group across cities and forcing each of them to decide what’s worth more: safety or the people who make it meaningful.

Book 2 — No Strings Attached (Jude & Harper)

They agreed on no strings. The algorithm had other plans.

Jude Park doesn’t do commitment—the quiet analyst behind Theo’s fitness empire prefers data over drama, casual over complicated. Harper Voss doesn’t do staying—a freelance photographer who’s spent years relocating to outrun a stalker, she’s learned that roots are a luxury she can’t afford. When a publicity stunt forces them into proximity—and proximity becomes a friends-with-benefits arrangement neither of them planned—the only rule is simple: no strings attached.

But casual doesn’t survive the Venice Beach content machine. A viral moment at LAX turns Jude’s private confession into a public spectacle, sponsors pull contracts, and the financial fallout threatens to bankrupt everything the group has built.

Harper’s instinct is to run. Jude’s instinct is to let her go. And the friends who’ve become family must decide whether to pool their resources and fight for a future none of them were brave enough to plan for.

Book 3 — Accidental Daddy (Theo & Ivy) — Series Finale

Three million followers. One secret daughter. And the woman who kept her hidden is standing in his gym.

Theo Katsaros has spent two books watching his friends fall in love while keeping his own life locked behind a privacy policy and a deadlift platform. Then Ivy Moreno walks back into his life with a fourteen-month-old daughter named Zara—and everything Theo has spent years controlling detonates in a single conversation.

What begins as a fake-dating arrangement to manage public perception becomes something neither of them planned for. Ivy is guarded—burned by her manipulative ex Brett, protective of Zara, and unwilling to let another public figure turn her daughter into content. Theo is terrified—of fatherhood, of vulnerability, of the gap between the man his followers think he is and the man Zara needs him to be.

The confession goes live on Instagram. Three million people watch Theo Katsaros finally mean every word. And the family—chosen and found and fought for—holds.
