She thought he was gone for good. Turns out, he was just waiting for the right pose…
Rosa Kimura’s life is falling apart at the seams. With a career-ending soccer injury and whispers of budget cuts at the Interstellar Agency where she counsels astronauts, she’s desperate for any distraction. When her physical therapist suggests yoga to help her recovery, Rosa reluctantly agrees… only to discover her instructor is the same man who ghosted her after one perfect date a year ago.
Rhys never meant to disappear from Rosa’s life. Caught between a manipulative ex and Rosa’s overprotective sister, he made the cowardly choice to vanish. Now fate has given him a second chance, but winning back Rosa’s trust won’t be easy, especially when he’s doubting his yoga business, her job security crumbles, and family drama threatens to suffocate them both.
With a crumbling family estate, a snarky dog best friend, a meddling sister, and their undeniable chemistry pulling them together, Rosa and Rhys must learn to communicate — on and off the mat — if they want to find their balance in love.
Rosa’s New Game is a heartfelt sci-fi romance set in the vibrant world of Orihimé. If you enjoy second chances, complicated family dynamics, and characters finding strength in vulnerability, you’ll love this emotional journey of healing, forgiveness, and finding your own path forward.
