Book three in the #1 New York Times bestselling Into Darkness Series, following the dark rom-com sensations Lights Out and Caught Up. The game is on for these enemies-to-lovers with laugh-out-loud banter and scorching-hot brat play.
I hate that woman.
Tyler Neumann has spent years looking for his father, and not because he wants to meet the man. No, he wants to destroy him. And he’ll manipulate whoever he can to exact his revenge.
Including Stella McCormick. She’s everything Tyler hates. Her wealth and privilege have protected her for her entire life, and Tyler thinks it's time she finally paid the price. Whether she’s ready to or not.
I hate that man.
Stella might not believe in love at first sight, but loathing at first sight—no question. From the moment she sets eyes on Tyler in her tattoo parlor, she knows he’s the devil planning to make her life hell.
Forced to play the part of his girlfriend and invite him into her family’s glittering circles, Stella quickly clocks Tyler’s ulterior motives. But love and hate are two sides of the same coin, and soon she doesn’t know which is worse: being blackmailed by a man who wants to ruin her, or that they can’t seem to keep their hands off each other.
This is an enemies-to-lovers dark romance with morally grey characters. Some themes and scenes may be disturbing to readers. Please check the content warning at the beginning of the book.

Customer Reviews
Good—Just Not My Favorite
What my title suggests: maybe this one just wasn’t MY cup of tea, and that’s totally OK. I loved the banter and the internal monologues, though maybe it unnecessarily delayed the story a little bit, it seemed good overall. I’m totally fine with some couple play, but it’s not really what sold me on Stella/Tylers story. I loved the plot. Just kind of felt a little—idk disappointed (?) that they couldn’t have their one on one happy ending love story like the other two couples. This one’s dynamic felt more written as shock value and I skipped over some scenes…idk.
I’m just one reader, with slightly different tastes—doesn’t mean the book was bad by any means. I just enjoyed the other two far more, but hopefully others enjoy this story.
Why were the bonus chapters better
*spoilers*
Game On was a disappointment. The first two books had much better chemistry and pacing. Navessa could’ve spent more time exploring the brat dynamic than building up to accepting he was a brat AND should’ve done a better job weaving the third partner into the story than just tossing him in at the end. What a disservice to the other two books in the series.
It’s A book, but that’s about it.
Definitely not a dark romance just a dramatic rom com at best. The story wasn’t up to par with lights out and the smut wasn’t what was expected or anticipated. Also this book is an unmarked MMF😕, hopefully that saves some people the money and the disappointment.
