Dungeons and Drama — Kristy Boyce

A national bestseller!

When it comes to romance, sometimes it doesn't hurt to play games. A fun YA romcom full of fake dating hijinks!

No one loves musicals more than Riley Morris -- her dream is to be a Broadway director. But when the spring show is canceled, Riley has to figure out a way to bring it back. Easier said than done -- she's stuck working at her dad's game store. The place that means more to him than his family does.

Riley can't waste time at a dead-end job when her entire future is resting on making a name for herself. So she convinces her co-worker Nathan Wheeler -- the floppy-haired, glasses-wearing guy she barely knows from school -- to help her. In exchange, she'll help him make his gamer-girl crush jealous. Plus it won't hurt to show her egotistical ex, Paul, just what he's missing without her.

Soon Riley and Nathan are “a couple,” and people seem to believe it. But selling the ruse means joining Nathan's role-playing game. To Riley's surprise, the game is almost fun. And even more surprising, flirting with Nathan doesn't require as much acting as she thought it would. . . .

And don't miss Kristy Boyce's next gaming romance, Dating and Dragons, coming January 2025!
