Caught up in memories of her decade-old obsession as they reconnect, Sierra tries to dismiss her growing qualms about him. But it's not so easy to ignore her deepening friendship with Alfie, the cute, supportive bar owner.

Maybe the only winning strategy is to start playing by her heart<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><strong><strong>A June Goodreads Must Read Romance</strong> <p/>"Relatable, funny, and charming." </strong><br><strong>--Elly Blake, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>Frostblood</em></strong> <p/><strong>In life, as in gaming, there's a way around every obstacle . . .</strong> <p/>To pitch her new role-playing game at a European conference, developer Sierra Reid needs to overcome her terror of public speaking.
