Release Blitz, Excerpt & Giveaway: Playing Games By Riley Hart

Franklin University Series, Book 1
Brax
Tyson Langley thinks the king in Franklin University Kings is in reference to him. Star lacrosse player and Godโs gift to the female and male population, thereโs nothing the spoiled jock canโt have.
Itโs impossible for us to be in the same room without talking crap to each other. But I also have a secretโฆ As much as I despise Ty, I want him too. I revel in our banter and in never knowing what heโll say next.
Iโve spent too much time on the wrong side of the law for someone like Ty, though, and if I want to make it through college and escape my past, heโs a distraction I donโt need.
Ty
Braxton Walker needs to learn to lighten up. If you search brooding online, his name pops up. Heโs the bad boy with a leather jacket and a scowl. We couldnโt be more different.
Finding ways to annoy him is like the longest foreplay session of my life. And when we end up working together, it gets harder to deny how hot he makes me.
Whatโs a little hooking up between enemies?
We werenโt supposed to become friends or share secrets. We werenโt supposed to understand each other and all the complicated stuff weโre going through.
Iโm used to playing games, only the more time I spend with Brax, the less it feels like playing around and the more it becomes something real.

Excerpt:
โYes,โ I said to him. He frowned. It fit his face like it was used to being there, like maybe it was his natural state of being. โYes what?โ โYou were waiting so you could offer to walk me back to Liberty Court, right? I mean, Iโd be fine on my own, but itโs sweet of you to offer.โ โI didnโt offer.โ โBut you were going to.โ โNo,โ he replied. โIโฆ Shut up. You know I wasnโt going to ask.โ โItโs okay, Sunshine. I wonโt tell anyone you like me. Iโm sorry that I donโt feel the same, but we can continue being frenemies.โ Braxton shoved off the wall. โWhat the fuck is a frenemy?โ He headed toward the door, and I went with him. โUs.โ โWeโre not friends. Just enemies.โ โOnly because itโs so hard for you since you like me.โ God, he was fun. I could do this all night. Five minutes ago I was exhausted and wanted to fall into bed and never get out. Now, a new burst of energy exploded inside me. โI donโt likeโJesus, how do you make me do this? I know exactly what hand youโre playing, yet I fall right into your trap.โ He opened the door, and I walked out. Such a gentleman. โItโs a gift.โ โYouโre annoying, and I hate you.โ โThereโs a thin line between love and hate.โ It was quiet behind the bar, nothing but the sound of the ocean and cars in the distance. โI thinkโฆโ He took a step closer to me, then another. I had a feeling the bastard was about to turn the tables on me. He was good at that, and I didnโt like itโฆor maybe I did. โYou want me to like you.โ Another step. My back hit the building, so apparently Iโd been moving too. He kept coming. โLooking to slum it with a guy you know will make Mommy and Daddy angry?โ Braxtonโs breath was warm against my face. I hated that he could manage this, that I could go from having the upper hand in this little game we played to thinking the guy in the bar was right and we just needed to bone and get it over with. He leaned in, mouth close to my ear, and I wondered if heโd lick it again. โRemember what I said earlier? If you ask nicely, I might be willing to fuck you.โ Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! My dick was throbbing, begging for me to open my mouth and say please. But there was no chance I was letting him do this. Heโd gotten the best of me earlier, and now it was my turn. โOh, Sunshine, when we finally succumb to this, no one said you would get to be the one doing the fucking.โ He sucked in a sharp breath. This round went to me.
