About this eBook

I’m Riley McKay. The perfect boyfriend.

I’m rich, good looking, and can climb a mountain with my bare hands. I remember birthdays and anniversaries. Plus, I’m a nice guy.

Your mom will love me. Your dad will respect me (in that grudging way dads do when they know you’re screwing their daughter).

And when it ends, which—let’s be honest—it always does?

I’m nice then too. 

There’s nothing missing from my life of serial monogamy. Definitely not the girl who walked away ten years ago without a word. 

The one who drops back into my life like a fireball when I least expect it.

The only woman I couldn’t do ‘nice’ with. 

They say you can’t rise without the fall.

With her, I’ve already fallen. No matter how sexy she is, or how fascinating, or how much I need her help with the Hollywood adaptation of Titan’s newest game? I won’t fall for Sam again.

Because falling is easy. Getting up is a b*tch.

Rise is a second chances romance in the PLAY series by bestselling contemporary romance author Piper Lawson! Book three about a quirky group of gamers and bankers in Boston. Can be read out of order, but why not follow along? The order is: PLAY, NSFW, RISE.

For fans of Melanie Harlow, Lauren Blakely, Jana Aston, Kendall Ryan, Willow Winters, Meghan Quinn and Sara Ney. 

Ratings and reviews

Oh Riley and Sam - I loved their story! I was so happy Piper gave us Riley’s story. He had small parts in PLAY and NSFW and I couldn't wait for more. This is a standalone but the other books are so good, they should not be missed! Rise is a second chance for love. Sam is the one that got away. Ten years have pasted and then they meet again. Their story is full of emotions, some laughter, history, chemistry and beautiful sexy times that I just couldn’t get enough of.

Friends to lovers, almost second chance romance. A complete win win for me, add to that Piper Lawson’s writing, and I’m in complete and utter bliss. I love Riley and Sam’s story, a story full of emotion, humour and sexy time. Ten years previously Riley and Sam never had a romantic relationship, not because they didn’t want one I might add. They both very much wanted one, sadly circumstances dictated that that was not a good idea. Fast forward 10 years from their first and last kiss and they happen upon each other again, both with a different outlook on life, both following different paths than they originally intended. Wonderful writing, lovely story, fab series, I can’t get enough of this wonderful group. I received an advanced copy of this book from the author. This is my honest review.

Riley surprised me in this story. He presents the cocky, successful lawyer vibe but when we finally got to dig deeper into his world, we learned that he had his heart broken which has caused him to hold back. As teenagers, Sam was the new girl at school and Riley was fascinated by her attitude and personality. They were best friends but some road blocks were put in their way which lead to heartbreak. Years later, they run into each other at a gallery where Sam is showing her artwork. For Riley, the old feelings are still there so how does he get Sam back into his life. This is a fabulous second chance romance for both of these characters. There is hurt and pain that has to be overcome. Add in the challenges Riley faces at Titan, the company he and Max own, which forces him to reevaluate what he really wants to do with his life versus what he thinks he should be doing.

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:
