From award-winning author Eve Riley comes the fifth installment of the acclaimed Techboys Series.

THE GAME

When Russian tennis sensation Anna Talanova catches her boyfriend cheating, she’s forced to take desperate measures—right on the brink of a high-profile event. Enter Adam Miller, a tech entrepreneur on the edge of financial ruin, enlisted as her reluctant new “date.” Their staged partnership sparks a media frenzy, and as Adam and Anna fend off tabloids, scheming exes, and shadows from Anna’s Russian past, a bond forms that neither of them can ignore.

But as threats escalate and Anna’s past resurfaces with dangerous intensity, love and trust are tested to their limits in a high-stakes game, culminating in a final, harrowing test of loyalty and courage.

Will they make it out together, or will their enemies win the ultimate match point?

Chances: They say you always regret the ones you don't take. But that's not true. Sometimes they're just dead ends, and they're going to get you nowhere.

I pass up on a chance the night I meet up with a beautiful-but-reluctant, brown-eyed boy; too preoccupied with my imploding job to figure out why he's so cagey.

But then Alex sends me a tantalizing photograph, and on a whim, I send him one back. And his unexpected reply makes my pulse race.

When he calls asking for help, I can't say no. And the shy smile, tight body, and sun-in-autumn eyes drag me in, so I bury my poor relationship history and hope that this time it will all be different.

Having Alex in my life makes me want something I've never had before, gives me hope. So I don't think about the consequences until I discover he has some brutal secrets of his own. And then I wish I'd remembered that first rule:

Some chances are going nowhere.
