Now in print with an all-new bonus chapter, Kristen Callihan's fan-favorite GAME ON series continues with a spicy college football romance built on the best friends-to-lovers slow burn. Perfect for fans of Elle Kennedy and high-heat new adult love stories.

“The Friend Zone is an exquisite, delicious cupcake of a book. You will gobble it down and hunger for more.”—SARINA BOWEN, USA Today bestselling author

It started with a text.

The last thing star tight end Gray Grayson wants to do is drive his agent's daughter's bubblegum-pink Fiat. But he needs the wheels, and she's studying abroad. When Ivy Mackenzie finds out her car has been loaned to a football player, she makes one thing clear: no shenanigans.

What starts as a bossy text turns into a nonstop conversation. Then a friendship. Then something neither of them expected.

Gray doesn't do relationships. He's the hookup king with a reputation to match. But Ivy isn't like anyone he's ever met. She's sharp, funny, and the only person who makes him want to be better. The problem? She has one rule: never get involved with any of her father's clients.

When they finally meet in person, the chemistry is instant and undeniable. Ivy wants to keep Gray in the friend zone. Gray wants out of it. And he's willing to risk everything to prove they're worth more than a label.

All's fair in love and football…game on.
