“Bursts with humor, heart, and great energy. I loved it! Park is a hilarious new voice in women’s fiction.”—Helen Hoang, author of The Kiss Quotient 

“[A]
punchy adult debut set in the world of video game design. Park makes tough
topics go down easy by couching them in wry humor and lighthearted romance, and
her fierce, snarky heroine is irresistible. This smart rom-com is a winner.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

In a debut perfect for fans of Jasmine Guillory and
Sally Thorne, a junior video game producer finds herself getting closer and
closer to the one person she hates most after a mass troll attack online almost
ruins her life. 

Melody
Joo is thrilled to land her dream job as a video game producer, but her new
position comes with challenges: an insufferable CEO; sexist male coworkers; and
an infuriating—yet distractingly handsome—intern, Nolan MacKenzie, aka “the guy
who got hired because his uncle is the boss.”

Just
when Melody thinks she’s made the worst career move of her life, her luck
changes. While joking with a friend, she creates a mobile game that has male
strippers fighting for survival in a post-apocalyptic world. Suddenly Melody’s
“joke” is her studio’s most high-profile project—and Melody’s running the show.

When
Nolan is assigned to Melody’s team, she’s sure he’ll be useless. But as they
grow closer, she realizes he’s smart and attractive, which makes Melody want to
forget he’s her intern. As their attraction deepens, she knows it’s time to
pump the brakes, even with her Korean parents breathing down her neck to hurry
up and find a man.

With her project about to launch, Melody suddenly
faces a slew of complications, including a devastating trolling scandal. Could
the man she’s falling hard for help her play the game to win—in work and in
love?
