The Games We Play: Was There Ever a Winner in Love?
Everyone is playing the game of love. But when hearts are on the line, does anyone ever truly win?
A single glance can change everything. A text can ruin a friendship. A secret can destroy a first love.
In this unforgettable collection of 18 YA romance stories, every page explores the thrilling, messy, and unforgettable moments of falling in love for the very first time.
Meet teens chasing impossible crushes, hiding secret feelings, surviving heart-breaking misunderstandings, choosing between friendship and romance, facing love triangles, late-night confessions, jealous rivals, unexpected kisses, and the painful truth that not every love story ends the way you hope.

Then comes the final story, a full-length companion novella that brings everything together in an emotional journey following a close-knit group of friends through one unforgettable summer filled with romance, betrayal, rivalry, life-changing choices, and truths that can no longer stay hidden.
