My name is Jace London,
And I may have screwed up.
Change My Game, an all-new, angst-filled standalone romance from Kelsey Clayton, is available now!
My name is Jace London,
And I may have screwed up.
I’ve always been the guy who had it all.
Privilege, entitlement, and a life of luxury.
But after one college night gone tragically wrong,
Nothing has ever been the same.
Everyone thinks I should be happy.
With a trust fund like mine, who could be sad?
But no one knows what’s going on with me,
Or the nightmares that keep me awake at night.
I finally found salvation in a parent’s worst nightmare.
The only thing to ease the pain just enough to breathe.
My friends are worried I’m going to ruin myself.
What they don’t realize, is I’m already dead inside.
Now they’re ready to pull out all the stops,
Including a therapist that gets paid an ungodly price.
No amount of money can bring back the guy I was,
But the girl that got away might be enough to try.
Gorgeous, strong, and confident to a fault.
If anyone can save me from myself, it’s her.

Grabbing my pillow off the couch, I make my way back to my room as Paige follows. It's only a twin size bed, so the two of us are going to end up practically on top of each other, but at least it's more comfortable. I wasn't allowed to change the mattress out, but I was able to put a pillow top on it to make it a little more bearable.
"Do you want the wall or the edge?"
She tilts her head to the side as she thinks about it. "The edge. I don't want to wake you up in the morning when I'm trying to get out of bed at quarter after six."
I purse my lips as I realize she's right. "Good point."
Climbing onto the bed, I get as close to the wall as possible, and she gets in behind me. Even with my one arm flush against the cold sheetrock, we're still pressed together. I roll onto my side to try to give us more room, but she stays staring up at the ceiling.
"Goodnight, Paige."
She doesn't move an inch, not even to look over at me. "Goodnight."
A few minutes pass as I wait for her to close her eyes, but that time doesn't come. She blinks up at the ceiling, like it's not even there and she's watching the stars. It isn't until she moves her hand just slightly, that I realize I wasn't imagining things all night.
Her hand moves across the bed until it ends up directly on my dick, and it instantly twitches. I can't really blame it, since I've gone longer than a monk without sex lately, but it's a bit disappointing when she rips her hand away.
"Oh my God," she gasps. "I'm sorry. I was...I'm sorry."
I can't help but chuckle as she covers her face. "It's fine. If you want to touch my cock, it's free game."
She whimpers and reaches over to smack me, though it lacks force. "Ugh, this was a bad idea."
"What were you trying to do?"
Her head turns my way, and she huffs. "I was looking for your hand."
I lift my hand from next to my head. "It's up here."
"I see that now."
Thankfully, my fears of her insisting she sleeps on the couch dissipate as she doesn't move. Instead, she goes back to staring up at the ceiling, but I'm rock hard at this point. Even just a second of her touch was enough to wake the beast.
I slowly drag my fingertips down her arm, starting from her shoulder. Then, I skate over to her leg and make my way up her thigh—really taking my time in case she wants to stop me. But she doesn't. She stays completely still, until just before I reach the waistband of her shorts. My fingers dip under the fabric, and her breath hitches.
"You said no funny business," she whispers into the silence.
I hum. "Trust me, I find nothing funny about this."

Jace London is barely keeping it together, he numbs his pain with drugs and prays the anxiety and bad memories will just slip away... but they haven't yet. The traumatic moment he went through weighs heavy on his shoulders and haunts him daily. His parents and friends are worried about him, they see him struggling and want to help. But there isn't anything they can do to take the pain away, nor understand what he went through. He has turned into a man no one recognizes... he desperately needs help.
When Paige hears that Jace is going through something and desperately needs someone to help pick him up, she is hesitant to get involved. Their history is bound to get in the way, and she isn't so sure he will let her in anyway, but Carter urges her to approach him anyway. The man she sees standing before her is not the man she left behind when she went to college, he's so broken. And she wants to be the one to save him...
Change My Game is an emotional page-turner that is bound to break your heart, but holds the power to heal it by the time the last page is turned! These two young souls have the weight on the world on their shoulders and desperately need someone to step in and save them. Neither never thought about turning to one another, as they haven't spoken in some time and have lingering ill feelings between them. But when Carter brings them together it's as if no time has passed, the love they once felt is still there full force, but will it be enough to repair their damaged souls?
This one completely broke me, the words were heavy with emotion and pain, and at times it was hard to imagine happiness lying ahead for these characters, but I held out hope. These characters were so perfectly drawn, they were truly each other's saving grace. Watching them come together, pick up the pieces, and fix what was broken was truly a beautiful thing to witness. They were too weak to conquer their demons on their own, but together they exuded a strength that withstood the fight that laid ahead for them. I absolutely loved every single second of this story, it words squeezed my heart and it's characters left a impression on it that is not liable to go away anytime soon! I highly recommend you take a chance on this one, it's bound to touch your heart!
