When dating is a lottery, you have to play to win.
Best friends since Freshman year at Midwestern State University, Sully and Kate have been playing, and losing, the dating game for four long years, comparing notes along the way. Kate is sure that personality trumps all, and Sully refuses to settle for anything less than perfect chemistry, but they're both determined to find The One. Finally, after graduation, it looks like they might have landed their winning tickets—there's just one problem: it turns out, after years living as strictly platonic roommates, sparks have begun to fly at home.
But Kate needs her best friend—Sully is the only safety net she has left. Add in the stress of figuring out her life plan post-college, a hot mess of a family situation threatening to suck her back in, and the fear of not living up to Sully's super high bar for sexual chemistry, and feelings or not, kissing that frog might be too big of a risk.
Either way, the rules of the game they've been playing have changed. And Kate and Sully are rapidly approaching a crisis their friendship might not survive. Not unless they're willing to go all in.
For fans of Christina Lauren's Wild Nights and Cora Carmack's Rusk University series, Playing to Win is the first book in a scorchingly hot contemporary romance series from the author of Daughter of a Thousand Years and From Asgard, With Love.
