Keep It In The Family

When his mother died, Judah Williams packed seventeen years of his life into two duffel bags and boarded a flight to California. He did not come to Calabasas to play house with the wealthy, absentee father who had ignored his entire existence. His plan was strictly business. He intended to take the starting quarterback job at Westlake Prep, secure his college recruitment, and treat the Fitzgerald estate like a hotel. The women of the house dismantled that strategy by Tuesday. His stepmother, Evelyn, maintains a perfect domestic front while suffocating under two decades of neglect, watching him with a desperate heat she stopped trying to hide. His youngest stepsister, Chloe, treats personal space as a polite suggestion, claiming his lap during movie nights before he can formulate an objection. The twins present a far more dangerous variable. Noel operates a lucrative online empire behind locked doors and has decided Jude is her favorite new puzzle to solve. Solange defends the family legacy with open hostility, cataloging his every move because she despises him almost as much as she cannot stop looking at him. Jude knows how to read a blitz, but this Calabasas mansion operates on rules nobody bothered to teach him. Every hallway functions as a trap. Every shared breakfast feels like a territorial negotiation. Between fending off an incumbent quarterback who thinks he can intimidate the kid from Philly and managing four beautiful women who view each other as the primary competition, Jude has to adapt quickly. Arthur Fitzgerald thought he could buy a compliant son to fix his public image. Instead, he imported his own replacement. Jude plans to dominate the Westlake football program, but he will not stop at the gridiron. He intends to claim the entire household. After all, true loyalty means keeping it in the family, no matter what.
