About this eBook

I’ll never fall for Max Donovan. Forget his money, his gaming empire, and his joystick.

The CEO of the world’s hottest gaming company is no nerd. Max Donovan is cocky, commanding, and ruthless... and that’s in public.

I need his business and his money. To win, I have to play by his rules.

I’m ready for anything.

Baggage? He’s already lived more than most people have in a lifetime.

Secrets? The empire he’s built doesn’t come without them.

Broken hearts? Not if I never risk mine to begin with.

The fact that he’s devastatingly attractive, shockingly intelligent and impossibly jaded is irrelevant.

Even if his irresistible mouth, sarcastic comments and eyebrow piercing leave me dying to know who he is behind closed doors...

None of it matters.

Because his game is the only one I can't afford to lose.

Ratings and reviews

My 1st time reading anything by Piper Lawson, and I loved it. Payton works in finance and Max an accomplished gamer, comes to her needing a 20 million loan for a new game. It doesn't turn out too well because they butt heads. Payton, really needing to win the bonus ends up working with Max to get his funding. As they get to know each other they open up about themselves. Their romance is a slow burn and I loved the humor added to the story. I am looking forward to reading more by Piper Lawson. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Max and Payton get together for business and then the fighting starts..Both are bright, stubborn and sexy as hell.First,they can't stand each other,then they can't stand to be apart.Max is developing not only a new computer game but true love as well.The stakes are high and but even corporate sabotage won't stop them from their destiny

This is the first book by Piper Lawson that I have read even though I have several of her books on my Kindle (I have a huge TBR pile). Why did it take me so long to read this book? I loved the story. You would never think that a book that is about gaming could be turned into such a great romance book but it was done. I loved it. This book had everything – humor, some swoon worthy moments and plenty of heat. I will be reading more of her work starting with what I have on my TBR and will go from there. If you haven’t read this book yet, I highly suggest it and do it soon, you will not be disappointed. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

About the author

 Join my Insiders list now for a steamy exclusive read! ➜ http://eepurl.com/bNQmYT

I love reading and writing stories where the girls aren’t doormats, the guys aren’t asshats, and secondary characters aren’t second-class citizens. A card-carrying millennial, I have two business degrees and zero hope of starting a fashion label (unlike my Travesty characters!). I crave quirk the way some people crave kink, and believe life is too short not to do what—and who—you love.

To my readers: I'm beyond grateful to you guys who make it possible for me to write. Thank you for buying my books. And inspiring me. And sending me wacky ideas. And telling me which cover you like...You're the reason I do this.

I love hearing from you! Stalk me on:
