At twenty-eight, Shannon has yet to fall in love. Which is fine, since she'd rather spend her evenings creating games than swiping right or going on awkward blind dates. Right now though, she has two little problems. First, she's stuck for a new game idea. Second, the only candidate in her roommate search is Tyler, the gaming buddy who's long had an unrequited crush on her.

It should be awkward. But when Tyler moves in, the situation doesn't go at all the way Shannon expected. Between helping her deal with coworkers and fixing the bugs in her latest game, Tyler's proving to be damn near perfect. Except for the fact that he's falling for someone else. . .

Maybe Shannon has already forfeited her turn. Maybe she's playing for nothing but heartache. But the best games have endings you can never predict . . .
