Synopsis

AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

Romance is the biggest scheme of them all in this laugh-out-loud romantic comedy from beloved author Alexa Martin.

Emerson Pierce loves everything about being a kindergarten teacher except the painfully low salary. It isn’t until she hears about Petunia Lemon—an opportunity to sell makeup products, make some extra money, and meet a group of skin-care aficionados—that she begins to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Sure, it sounds a little too good to be true, but what’s the worst that could happen?

Investigative reporter Lucas Miller didn’t always have a chip on his shoulder...until his wife joined Petunia Lemon, drained their savings, and filed for divorce. Now he’s a little bitter, a lot single, and determined to expose the company. After infiltrating their largest convention yet, the last thing he expects is to lose sight of his mission for one night with the gorgeous woman at the bar.

When Emerson and Lucas learn that she’s his daughter’s teacher, they decide to ignore their scorching chemistry. Until things with Petunia Lemon turn downright diabolical and Emerson turns to Lucas for help. They work together to bring the company down but can the two come out on top in this pyramid scheme of love?

About The Author

The Playbook Series was inspired by the eight years she spent as a NFL wife and her deep love of all things pop culture, sparkles, leggings, and wine. When she’s not dreaming up her next romance hero, you can find her catching up on whatever Real Housewives franchise is currently airing or filling up her Etsy cart with items she doesn’t need.

Goodreads review by chan ☆ on August 31, 2025

I can truly say that the premise of a multi level marketing/pyramid scheme romance is probably the most unique thing I'll read this year. I just wish I could also say that it made for an amazing romance. The set up and meet cute for this was pretty fun. Our heroine is a school teacher looking to make......more

Goodreads review by Amy on July 05, 2025

This was such a fun, spicy, and surprisingly insightful listen! Narrator Khaya Fraites was new to me, but she brought so much personality to the story and really made it shine. Emerson, a kindergarten teacher with a big heart, made for an adorable and endearing heroine, and Lucas was the kind of swo......more

Goodreads review by Sarah Louise on June 30, 2025

I was kind of bummed this opened with a one-night stand, only because these two barely had a full conversation before hopping into bed. Instead of relying on physical attraction, I would have preferred a solid emotional connection first to really sell the chemistry. But it does evolve into a fun lit......more

Quotes

"With so much conflict around them, Martin’s characters find their strength in the abundant warmth of their connection. Because as fun as it is to see villains get their comeuppance, and as gratifying as it is when a character’s virtue is rewarded, the best romances ask us to imagine something beyond the tallying of debits and credits. Love is a gift, not a wage. Love is an action, not a product. Humanity is not earned, it is experienced. Silence the voice in your head that divides people into those who deserve and those who don’t."—New York Times
