Dating and Dragons

Quinn Norton is starting over at a new high school and hopes that joining a D&D game will be the trick to making friends. The plan sounds even better when she's invited into a group that includes Logan Weber, the cute and charming guy she met on her first day of class. But this isn't your average D&D campaign— this group livestreams their games and enforces strict rules: no phones allowed, and no dating other group members. Quinn is willing to accept the rules, even if it makes Logan off-limits. She quickly learns that doing so won't be a problem since Logan goes from charismatic to insufferable as soon as she agrees to join. As their bickering—and bantering—intensifies inside and outside the game, Quinn can't help wondering: Is Logan's infuriating behavior a smokescreen for hidden feelings? Quinn is risking it all, and the twenty-sided dice are rolling!

Dating and Dragons has something for everyone—swoon-worthy romance with rivals to lovers and forbidden romance tropes for romance fans, immersive gameplay and references to the biggest RPG games and fandoms for gamers, and an embarrassing, meddling grandma for everyone who loves to laugh.
