Dez was sick and tired of being told to get over it. What happened to her was real, and the memories wouldn't just vanish because she wanted them to. No matter how hard she tried, it never got better, and being touched only made it worse. All she wanted was for it to stop. Some girls dream of falling in love, fairytales, or other crap. Her? She longed to get lost somewhere no one would ever find her. In the code, the cables, and the dusty places that most people tried to avoid. The kind of places where someone couldn't accidentally brush up against her skin, reawakening the horrors she fought so hard to forget. Then he offered it all to her. No touching, no questions, and no unrealistic expectations. Chance's smile was charming and hollow, covering a ruthless business owner and the only person who'd ever dared to look deeper than the ink covering her skin. He was willing to give her everything she asked for. There was just one catch. None of it was perfect. Challenge Accepted Nothing will get in her way. Not even him. The last thing Riley needs in her life is a man. Especially not one who thinks he's better than her. With her neon dreads, a few tattoos, and a chip on her shoulder the size of the draft horses she loves so much, Riley insists she doesn't care about anyone's opinion but her own. She just didn't expect this guy to be so… Sexy? Understanding? Amazing! And yes, Void is everything she's ever wanted. He's also her competition, and if she wants to save the family farm, she can't get distracted by his ripped body, sultry smile, or those sweet words that are quickly destroying the anger that got her this far. Everyone else may be playing a game, but Riley? She's playing for keeps. He just wasn't the challenge she thought she'd accepted. Virtual Reality Online, you can be anyone you want. If only real life was that simple. Kate's determined to learn how to be an independent woman. For too long, she's let herself be pushed around - sometimes literally - by men. For the first time in her life, she finally has control of her own decisions. Too bad it's never that easy. Her goals are simple: get a job and build a life she can be proud of. That's it. The problem is that no matter how much she tells herself she's better off alone, she can't help but feel something for the deep voice she talks to every night in her favorite game. Knowing he lives on the other side of town isn't helping. It wouldn't take much to fall for this guy. He's perfect. So is the man who works across the hall. He's not her boss. He just owns the company she works for. Not only is he rich, charming, and sexy, he's also real, unlike her gamer guy - and for some reason, he's taken an interest in her. But falling for him would be a bad idea. After all, they work together. Still, no girl in her right mind would refuse someone who looks that good in a suit. But she's not the only one with secrets. Some things are supposed to remain online, yet when her job sends her to a gaming convention to represent the company, she knows it won't stay that way. Secrets are about to come out. Unfortunately, the ones that will hurt the most aren't hers. The Gamer Girls series features strong women and the men who love them.
