In The Game Of Love

At thirty-six, Hazel Remy has stopped expecting romance to find her.

By day, she manages supply chains. By night, she's a competitive Valorant streamer with a sharp tongue, loyal viewers and very little patience for reckless teammates. After eleven disappointing years of dating, Hazel is perfectly comfortable keeping romance outside the walls of the life she has built.

Then her sister-in-law signs her up for a date.

Hazel expects one awkward hour with a stranger and a good story to tell afterward. Instead, she meets Syrus Nev, a man who is surprisingly easy to talk to, dangerously good at making her laugh and somehow... familiar.

The date goes better than either of them expected.

But just before they part ways, Syrus leaves Hazel with a cryptic apology for something she doesn't remember him doing.

Suddenly, the stranger sitting across from her doesn't feel quite so strange.

And somewhere between online rivalries, unexpected second chances and a connection neither of them planned for, Hazel begins to wonder if some people enter your life long before you realize who they are.
