Contemporary romance with a fantasy/D&D campaign woven in • second chance • rivals-to-lovers • forced proximity (same campaign) • ghosted-after-hookup • competitive game design subplot • vampire lord x knight dynamic in-game

Perfect for readers of:

  • Nerdy romcoms with tabletop gaming vibes and big chemistry
  • Second-chance stories where the “why did you leave?” question finally gets answered
  • Rivalry romances with career stakes (and banter that bites)
  • Readers who love when the in-game characters mirror the real-life tension

Spice: 2/5

Romcom-swoony with tension and emotional payoff more than explicit heat.

The vibe

Back in college, Reagan Riley and Wesley Locke were rivals in their video game design program—always competing, always clashing—until one unexpected hookup changes everything. Then Wesley ghosts Reagan, and whatever they had (or could’ve had) is severed for good.
Six years later, Reagan has put her game design dreams on the shelf and stayed close to her family in Connecticut, pouring her creativity into Dungeons & Dragons instead. When her longtime group falls apart, she and her sister join a new advanced campaign at their local game store… only to discover the demanding Dungeon Master is none other than Wesley.
In the campaign, Wesley becomes Vadrien, a merciless, power-hungry vampire lord—and Reagan is Sindra, the sword-wielding lady knight determined to take him down. And when a real-world game design opportunity opens up, they’re suddenly competing again outside the game, too. As sparks reignite and old wounds resurface, Reagan starts to question what really happened all those years ago. Can they learn to play nice—or are they playing for more than just the win?
