Law #2: Don't Play with a Player

by Agnes Canestri

Book 2 of the Laws of Love series

400 pages · First published 2020

A heroine determined to protect herself from charming men adopts a simple rule: do not get involved with a player. Unfortunately, the man who most clearly triggers that warning also keeps revealing qualities that do not fit the reputation she has assigned him. Banter and repeated encounters turn caution into attraction while both must decide how much of the other’s public image reflects reality. Agnes Canestri’s contemporary romantic comedy builds its clean romance around the danger of making a sensible dating rule before meeting the one person who makes breaking it seem reasonable.
