From Sunday Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood comes Two Can Play, a charming and addictive romantic comedy packed with witty banter, workplace rivalry, gaming culture and slow-burn chemistry. Set against the backdrop of a snowy mountain retreat, this cosy enemies-to-lovers romance delivers humour, tension and heartfelt emotional moments that romance readers will love.

Viola Bowen finally lands her dream project — designing a video game inspired by her favourite fantasy book series. But her excitement quickly fades when she discovers she must work alongside Jesse Andrews, her long-time nemesis. Jesse has spent years making it painfully obvious that he wants nothing to do with her, leaving Viola frustrated and completely baffled about what she ever did wrong.

Things spiral further when their bosses arrange a winter retreat to improve teamwork. Stuck together in a remote mountain lodge surrounded by snow, awkwardness and unresolved tension become impossible to avoid. But as the icy atmosphere slowly melts away, Viola begins to uncover unexpected layers beneath Jesse’s guarded personality. What starts as professional hostility gradually turns into undeniable attraction, emotional vulnerability and a romance neither of them expected.

Blending geek culture, workplace dynamics, emotional depth and sizzling romantic tension, Two Can Play is a delightful contemporary romance about misunderstandings, ambition, creativity and discovering love in the most unexpected places. Ali Hazelwood once again delivers an entertaining and emotionally satisfying story filled with smart characters, sharp humour and unforgettable chemistry.

Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers romance, cosy winter love stories, gamer romance novels, workplace romantic comedies, slow-burn relationships and contemporary bestselling romance fiction. Readers who loved Deep End, Mate and Ali Hazelwood’s signature witty storytelling will thoroughly enjoy this feel-good romantic escape.
