Stealing First Place, Stealing My Heart

Rae Vance has spent two years stuck in second place, always one step behind Damian Cross, a gifted gamer who seems to coast effortlessly to the top. Dating him was supposed to be a covert mission to uncover his secret, but Rae soon learns that her rank was something he quietly handed out to whoever shared his bed. Furious, she marches next door to her childhood neighbor Ezra Vane, drops to one knee, and offers a squished cupcake as a mock proposal. She wants him to tutor her and help her wage war on Damian, yet Ezra's unconventional lessons quickly bring them uncomfortably close.
