He died a champion. He woke up a child. This time, he plays for keeps. Alex Irvine was a tennis prodigy on the verge of greatness—until a plane crash ended everything. When he opens his eyes, he is no longer Alex. He is a three-year-old boy in a coastal Japanese town, with a second chance at life, a new family, and a racket in his hands. But some things never change. The hunger for victory. The fire on the court. The dream of standing on the world's biggest stage. From the sun-drenched courts of Rockport to the elite Westbrook Academy, Alex builds something greater than individual glory: a team. Together with a group of fiercely talented, wildly unpredictable teammates, he will chase a championship no one thought possible. Yet shadows from his past linger. The rivals who once defined him. The secrets he carries. And the one opponent he may never be ready to face—himself. Love of the Game is a heart-pounding, emotional journey of redemption, friendship, and the relentless pursuit of greatness. For anyone who believes that sometimes, one life isn't enough to achieve your dreams. They said his time was over. They had no idea it was just beginning.

Diez años de aventuras pasajeras. Una propuesta desastrosa. Y un secreto de niño pequeño que nunca debió conocer. Chloe Bennett ha dominado el arte de alejarse. Se alejó de un divorcio amargo, de un negocio en quiebra y—lo más peligroso—de Franklin Vance, el despiadado multimillonario tecnológico que se llevó la mitad de su corazón y le dio nada más que noches de hotel imprudentes y promesas vacías. Ahora, viviendo en una remota isla en un acantilado, Chloe finalmente está en paz gestionando su posada junto al mar y criando a su feroz e independiente mundo en sus propios términos. No necesita un salvador. Ciertamente no necesita a un multimillonario. Y definitivamente no esperaba que Franklin saliera de un helicóptero privado justo en su entrada. Franklin construyó un imperio mediático por pura rabia después de que Chloe lo rechazara en las llanuras salvajes del norte. Se dijo a sí mismo que solo estaba visitando su olvidada inversión en la isla para un descanso de tres días. Pero en el momento en que mira a los ojos del hijo de un año de Chloe, la realidad lo golpea como un tren de carga: Rizos oscuros. Mandíbula obstinada. Su exacta y arrogante sonrisa. Franklin no solo quiere respuestas—quiere todo. Limpiará pisos, cargará maletas y jugará al socio comercial inofensivo solo para respirar el mismo aire salado que ella. Pero Chloe sabe la regla de oro de amar a un hombre como Franklin: Dale a un albatros una jaula, y él romperá sus propias alas para volar. Con una tormenta reuniéndose sobre el archipiélago y viejas heridas sangrando en el océano, Franklin debe demostrar que ha dejado de huir. Porque esta vez, recuperar a Chloe no le costará su fortuna... le costará su orgullo.

"You ran straight into my trap, little muse. Did you really think I’d ever let you leave?" Walking into a penthouse to catch my fiancé in bed with my childhood best friend was supposed to break me. Instead, I took photos, leaked them to the entire high-society circle, and kicked my cheating ex out of my life forever. I thought I was walking away a free woman. Until the real predator stepped out of the shadows. Julian Sterling. The undisputed king of Bridgeport. A ruthless billionaire with ice in his veins, feared by the entire elite and untouchable to all. To the world, he is an emotionless monster. To me, he is my ex’s terrifying cousin who suddenly offered a fake engagement to protect my reputation. He swore it was just a contract. He swore he was only helping. Liar. He didn’t tell me he had kept an unopened love letter from high school for eight whole years. He didn’t tell me that every man who ever looked at me was driven to ruin. And he certainly didn't tell me that the custom gold chain in his bedroom was made strictly for my ankles. When his touch turns from gentle comfort to insatiable madness, I realize the terrifying truth: Tristan didn’t lose me to chance. Julian had been waiting eight years to steal me for himself. And when a monster decides you are his only salvation, even death won't set you free.
