Eyes on the Game

Courtney has always played by the rules. Growing up in a family where power and reputation come before everything, she knows that showing weakness isn't allowed. She knows exactly who she is... or at least, who she's supposed to be. Her life is a carefully arranged chessboard of appearances, where losing isn't just disappointing, it's like tipping over the whole board.

Lyle? A law student, campus heartbreaker, and self-proclaimed master of the game. He's the opposite. Carefree, confident, and impossible to predict, he treats life like it's a game he's already winning. Rules are more like suggestions, and consequences don't seem to stick to him. Yet somehow, he always ends up right where he wants to be-usually in the middle of everyone else's chaos.

Lyle has never met a girl he couldn't charm. Until Courtney, the only verdict he can't predict. The walking definition of "study first, love later," she doesn't have time for distractions, especially not someone like him. But when the notorious playboy sets his sights on the one girl who refuses to fall, the real question is... will he break her walls, or will he be the first one to fall?
