I'm the office introvert, a blast of socially awkward sunshine on a stick. Donovan Taylor is a broody, gorgeous soccer player with a chip on his shoulder. We are not a thing.

But when my boss sends me to a pro sports banquet, I stumble in late and find the only empty seat next to the San Francisco Strikers' resident hottie and marquee player. Of course, I promptly make a fool of myself. I don't even expect him to remember my name, let alone kiss me.

Or ask me out.

I mean, seriously, I program computers for a living and play mahjong for fun. I don't hook up with gorgeous green-eyed players and stroke their egos or their abs—although it's a hell of a good time—because I know it will never last.

But my competitive streak runs hot, and Donovan may be the one person who can get me the promotion I deserve. All I need to do is convince him to join my company's virtual reality sports game—avoid falling for him in the process.

So what if his moves off the field are as impressive as his moves on it?

How hard can it be to win at his game?
