Playing Flirty - Paperback

by Shameez Patel (Author)

The game is on for two competitive nerds in this "sweet, swoony, and utterly adorkable" romantic comedy, perfect for fans of Olivia Dade and Jen DeLuca (Jo Watson).
For Rose Marie Jones, risks are a hard no--except for on Game Night. For one precious evening a week, Rose can forget about her demanding boss and her lackluster love life and focus on beating the pants off her friends. But no one brings out her competitive side quite like William Ashdern. Her best friend's half-brother, William is the paragon of a sexy nerd. The tall, dorky, and handsome game designer is Rose's playing nemesis. But when Rose decides to enter a contest with the board game she's secretly invented, there's only one person who can help her win. Now the competition between Rose and William is getting a lot more serious. And after spending her entire life trying not to lose, Rose might finally be ready to risk it all--and play to win.
