Synopsis
At twenty-five, Ellie Parker has made an art of building walls around her heart, and only one person has ever gotten past them: Dex Remington, the man who has always believed in her and always been there. Four years ago she went to him seeking comfort, then vanished in the night, leaving him shattered. Now one of the country's top PC game developers, Dex is handsome, brilliant, and so thoroughly numb that he doubts he will ever feel anything again. When chance throws the two of them back together, it reignites desires that terrify Ellie and awaken something long dormant in Dex, she wants to run, and he wants, for the first time in years, to feel. Drawn back to each other by a volatile mix of longing and fear, they edge down a path that could heal the wound between them or reopen it for good. Their story asks whether a bridge burned so completely can ever be crossed again, or whether two guarded people who once meant everything to each other are destined to stay apart. It is an emotionally charged, second-chance romance about trust, fear, and the pull of first love.

Frequently asked questions
Can I read Game of Love as a standalone, or do I need to read the series in order?
You can read Game of Love on its own. It is book 1 of The Remingtons, one of the interconnected sub-series in Melissa Foster's Love in Bloom collection, and every Love in Bloom book is written as a standalone with its own complete romance and a guaranteed happily ever after. Reading the series in order simply lets you follow the extended family as familiar characters reappear across the books.
Who are the main characters in Game of Love?
Game of Love follows Ellie Parker and Dex Remington. Their romance is the heart of the book, set among the big, close-knit families Melissa Foster's readers return for.
How steamy is Game of Love?
Game of Love is an open-door contemporary romance, so it pairs its emotional story with on-page love scenes. Readers who prefer sweeter, closed-door versions can look for Melissa Foster's clean-language editions published under her pen name, Addison Cole.
