There’s only one rule when it comes to dating: avoid baseball players at all costs.

Growing up with four older brothers in the pros, I’ve seen firsthand how baseball players act off the field, and after a disastrous experience confessing my feelings to one at seventeen, I vowed to never make that mistake again. But now, my brother’s best friend—the very one I confessed my feelings for years ago—is determined to change my mind and tear down my defenses.

Jenner was there when I had my accident and probably saved my life. But he’s also the one who made me run away in the first place. His rejection still stings, even though it shouldn’t. And now, I’m caught between desperate attraction and fierce suspicion I can’t ignore.

Just as I start to believe him, our fragile bond is tested by old insecurities and the challenges of dating your brother’s best friend. With expectations I’m not ready to handle, I’ve spent years shielding my heart from players like him—and I’m not sure I’m ready to give that up.

Can Jenner help me rewrite our story or will my fears make what we both want impossible?

Playing the Player is the last book in the Rules of the Game series and can be read as a standalone featuring a no nonsense heroine and a hot baseball player hell bent on breaking down her walls.
