  Title: The Game Author: Vi Keeland Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance Release Date: January 16, 2023 BLURB It started out like any other Tuesday. I spent twelve hours writing algorithms for one of the largest companies in the world and then came home to work on a pet project of mine—feeding facts about the men I knew into a formula to find my perfect match before my twenties came barreling to a close. But then a man knocked on my door and handed me some papers that turned my life upside down. Apparently, a father I never knew existed had left me something in his will. That something turned out to be part ownership in a professional football team. Next thing I knew, I was learning a sport I knew nothing about by spending time with the team’s quarterback who was out with an injury, a man who my formula would definitely determine was all wrong for me. Christian Knox was too handsome and confident for his own good and could have any woman he wanted. Only lately the...

I tilted my head. “Can I ask you something?” He shrugged. “Sure.” “Why are you here?” “You mean at the Bruins?” I shook my head. “No, here with me at this moment. You must have plenty of other things you could be doing right now that are more fun than listening to my drivel.” “Maybe I like drivel.” I snort-laughed. “No one likes drivel.” He smiled, and his eyes dropped to my lips for a fraction of a second. “Maybe I like you .” I shifted in my seat to face him. “Why?” Christian shrugged again. “I don’t know. I think you’re interesting.” My eyes narrowed. “What about me is interesting?” “You’re a billionaire who lives in a rent-controlled apartment over a fruit stand and tried to give the team you inherited to your grandfather. What’s not interesting about you? Given your situation, most people I know wou...
