Jigsaw Puzzle Influencers

Book 2 of the Wicked Games Trilogy

When ambition collides with attraction, every move could be their last.

Carlie's on thin ice. After a competition scandal rocks NuJays Media, she's placed on probation and given one shot at redemption: co-host a groundbreaking puzzle content show that could save the company—or end her career. The catch? Her partner is Eric, the charming, infuriating nephew of the company's owners, whose on-camera chemistry with her is undeniable... and dangerously unprofessional.

Eric's hiding more than his devastating smile. Buried under gambling debts and controlled by Tessa—a woman who holds his secrets like weapons—he's desperate to prove he's more than his mistakes. Working alongside Carlie ignites something real, something worth fighting for. But when you owe the wrong person, love becomes leverage.

As their viral content rebuilds NuJays' reputation, the tension between them explodes beyond the studio. Every stolen glance, every late-night brainstorming session, every moment they're forced to work inches apart pushes them closer to a line they can't uncross. But with Carlie's probation hanging over her head and Tessa tightening her grip on Eric, their forbidden attraction could cost them everything they've worked for.

In a world of influencers and power plays, where one wrong move goes viral and secrets never stay buried, Carlie and Eric must decide: play it safe, or risk it all for a love that could either redeem them—or destroy them both.

Some puzzles are meant to be solved. Others will break your heart trying.
