Love's Deceptive Game

Some first loves never truly fade.

When seventeen years old Eris Sullivan meets the new kid Takeru Takahashi on the first day of their senior year, neither expects a single glance to change the course of their lives. What begins as an innocent high school romance quickly becomes something far more deeper - a love that's built on friendship, sacrifice, and unwavering devotion.

Unfortunately, fate has other plans.

As Eris battles a worsening heart condition that's defined all of her life, Takeru promises to stay by her side forever. Then, without warning, circumstances tear them apart which forces Takeru to return to Japan while Eris struggles to rebuild her life without the boy that she never stopped loving.

Ten years later, destiny reuintes them in the last place either one of them would expect - a prestigous New York publishing house. Eris is engaged to another man and is determined to leave the past behind while Takeru has returned to America and carries the weight of a promise he never got to keep. Yet beneath Eris's carefully crafted life lies betrayal, manipulation, and a dangerous game that's been orchestrated by someone who has envied her happiness since childhood.

As old feelings reignite, hidden truths surface, and long-buried secrets threaten to destroy everyone around them, Eris and Takeru must decide whether love deserves a second chance - or whether some wounds are too deep to heal.

From first love to heartbreaking separation, from betrayal and redemption to life-threatening danger, Love's Deceptive Game is an emotional contemporary romance about soulmates, second chances, and the extraordinary lengths two people will go to protect the one they love.

Sometimes the greatest love story isn't about finding the right person.

It's about finding your way back to them.
