The Games We Play is a revamp book of my past book, Seven Minutes in Heaven.
Lawson "Law" Cort has two things he never lets go of-his journal and his tight-knit group of friends. Life in high school is all about balance: navigating track meets, dodging drama, and occasionally saving his best friend Trey from ridiculous situations. But when Layla, the girl from his past, suddenly walks back into his life, everything changes.
What was supposed to be just another school year turns into a whirlwind of late-night confessions, reckless choices, and a game night that spirals into something much deeper than anyone expected.
In a world where love is complicated and secrets run deep, how far will Law go to hold onto the people who mean the most?
Perfect for fans of coming-of-age drama, friendships that feel real, and the kind of romance that sneaks up on you when you least expect it.

The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️
"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER!
