Finnegan MacCallum is everything I despise. Cocky, annoyingly charming, boisterous, and worst of all—obsessive.

Our tumultuous childhood rivalry-turned-friendship always skated the line between lust and hate, but after Finn was drafted to the professional hockey league years ago, a new romantic game we’d never played before began. One that ended just as quickly as it’d started; with a shitty text message that shattered my heart and sent me sprinting for the hills.

Now that I’m back in the Bay and Finn has his eyes set on me again, I’m more determined than ever to guard my heart—because if there’s one thing I’ve learned in the game of love, it’s that heartbreak is inevitable, and I’m no longer interested in playing.

Finnegan

Scarlett Alessandro is everything I adore. Sweet with a heaping side of snark, incredibly intelligent, and more beautiful than a sunset.

Now that my angel is back in my orbit, I’m not letting the clock—or her—run out. When it comes to Scar, there isn’t another living soul I want to play this game with. I know her better than I know myself, and I’ll do whatever it takes to earn her trust—even bribe a charity for a few hours with her.

She knows I don’t lace up my skates just to participate; I play to win.

The Games We Play is a scarred black cat x obsessive golden retriever childhood rivals to lovers hockey romance with loads of spice and a happily ever after.
