Play the Game

Evan Rhodes is the bane of my existence.

She’s frustrating, competitive, irritatingly brilliant, and annoyingly beautiful – a fellow lawyer with a steely spine, sharp tongue, and an unmatched ability to get under my skin.
With two of us and one open partnership position available at the law firm where we work, we’re locked in a battle of wills with no resolution and no end in sight.
Until a single moment of late-night insanity fueled by not enough sleep, too much caffeine, a dark conference room, and a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the city of Boston ties us to each other in a way that wasn’t in either of our life plans.
Thrown together by circumstance and chance, I start to see a different side of Evan – one she keeps hidden from the world. One I find impossible to resist.
With every early morning conversation, late night movie, and stolen moment away, I find myself falling in deep, until my one-time rival becomes the one person I can’t live without.
With a difficult past and scars that are not so easily healed, Evan is skeptical of words like love, family, and forever. But with my heart entirely lost to her and my family on my side, I’m determined to show her that forever is real, and that right from the start, she and I were always meant to be.
