When Sam’s not working on her fledgling business, she spends her time secretly video-gaming. Her crush is famous gamer Blaze, and she’s thrilled when she’s teamed up with him in a virtual tournament.

But what Sam doesn’t know is that Blaze is the alter ego of Luke, her shy colleague – and he has a secret crush too.

Luke has a crush on Sam. Sam has a crush on Blaze.

She spent much of her childhood in Sri Lanka, with short forays to Nigeria and Micronesia, before returning to England to settle in Yorkshire. All of this, it turned out, was excellent preparation for becoming a novelist. She also writes under the name Rhoda Baxter. Her books have been shortlisted for multiple awards. A microbiologist by training, Jeevani loves all things science geeky. She also loves cake, crochet and playing with Lego.
