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.

Loving the Enemy
Dear Olive, I hate you. I hate that you were born and that your human and have a face. I hate that you live next door to me and I hate that I can't sleep at night because the thought of you has forever left a vivid image creased in the back of my mind. And most of all, I hate that you hate me. Hate, Everest Since the first grade when Olivia Kingston and her family moved in right across the street from Kyle Everest, he had believed to have instantly hated her. (At least thats how he tells the story) And maybe it was just because of the mere fact of her existence, or maybe it was that time she ate the last fruit snack at lunch, or let's not forget, in fifth grade she stole his partner in crime, being his twin sister Madeline. Now being 17 years old Kyle Everest still holds this unknown resentment against his next door neighbor Olivia Kingston, and torches her in any possible way he can, but what would happen when Olivia finally gets sick of letting Kyle torcher her unexplainably? Everything would change in the matter of one day when Olivia accidentally gets them both locked in the principals office in search of the same thing: The truth. But while staying together in a cramped room with no phones and surviving off nothing but the secret stash of their principal, while the entire schools is off on spring break, secrets will be told and feeling will unravel. And let's not forget, hate letters will be sent. This book may seem light and fun but it has some mature scenes and dark thoughts that I'd suggest for viewers 16+Complete
