She plays to win. He plays to protect. Neither of them planned on playing for keeps.

When CEO Victoria Preston's business partner ends up in a coma after a tragic accident, the board of directors decides to step in with "reinforcements" she never requested and proactively hires Nathaniel Hamilton, a financial consultant. But Victoria finds his presence at her video game development agency a nuisance and is determined to send him packing.

Nathaniel's job is simple: assess the company, keep his real purpose under wraps, and definitely don't get distracted by the infuriatingly brilliant CEO who challenges him at every turn. While reviewing the financials, he discovers a trail of messages from Gamer404, Victoria's so-called biggest fan. She thinks they're harmless, but Nathaniel knows better. And whoever's behind that username is getting bolder.

As Victoria and Nathaniel are forced to work side by side, professional boundaries begin to blur. The tension between them shifts into something neither of them expected, complicating everything Victoria thought she knew about who she can trust. Between the secrets she knows Nathaniel is keeping about his presence at her company and her stalker's unwanted attention, her world is unraveling. Can she trust Nathaniel's presence in her life, or is the connection between them just another game she's destined to lose?

Roxanne LoMarc delights with a no-spice, enemies-to-lovers romance where forced proximity, video gaming culture, suspense, and undeniable chemistry collide. Fans of workplace romance, CEO millionaires, women in STEM, and Katherine Center will savor this high-stakes, bitter-sweet love story.
