Rolls and Rivalry

A swoony YA gaming romance about high school rivals thrown together in a steamy D&D game packed with tension and chemistry in this exciting rivals-to-lovers rom-com for fans of Lynn Painter and Alexandra Moody.

Perfectionist Hazel Buchanan has her senior year mapped out: kick off her first D&D campaign, win respect as a colour guard captain in the school's marching band and steer clear of distractions. But her plan unravels when Max – former best friend and longtime crush – returns to town with drumsticks in hand and an unexplained chip on his shoulder.

Hazel and Max can’t help bickering every time they’re together, and thanks to meddling parents, he’s invading her D&D game too. As Dungeon Master, she’s ready to shut him down, but D&D has a way of bringing people together.

Is this rivalry masking something more? Hazel might be in for more than she planned…

Romance tropes include:
Childhood friends to rivals to lovers
Childhood sweethearts
Rivals in love
