Rosie Garcia is determined to escape her life under the thumb of her father, shielding her heart and learning to keep her deepest secrets buried by immersing herself in games of power, sex, and manipulation. But when she crosses paths with Caleb Smith—a smooth-talking player who’s mastered the art of the game—the walls she’s spent her life building begin to crumble, and she finds herself facing a rival she just can’t shake.
Caleb has always used his wealth, looks, and wit to mask the empty hollowness he’s carried forever. But Rosie’s fire and passion have him questioning it all, leaving him unable to think of anything—or anyone—else. As they push and pull, fighting against the tension holding them together, they fall into doing what they both do best: they play in games of ego, attraction, and career hiking.
But when Rosie’s secrets become exposed, and the freedom she’s fought so hard for is threatened, she must decide whether to take back her power and forsake everything she’s ever known or let her secrets destroy the one game she’s finally wishing would never end: a play for love.
