Brooke Antoinette Neville is a good daughter, loyal sister, rising star. Fake.

Most twenty-somethings travel to Berlin in search of the weird, wild, and wunderbar. For Brooke Neville, it's the perfect place to stage a fantasy; one where she's just another college student backpacking through hostels on a shoe-string budget.

No billionaire family. No pro-tennis career. No gut-wrenching tragedy.

But remaining anonymous and aloof becomes increasingly difficult upon meeting Patrick, a charismatic Aussie traveler. With his easy grace and killer smile, Brooke isn't the only woman distracted by his charms.

As she artfully dodges angry calls from back home, Brooke loses herself in Berlin's nightlife and counterculture, and starts to find herself along the way. Maybe it's time to come clean, own up to who she is and face the consequences. But the worst deceit of all will be the one she fails to see coming.

"GAME" is the first stirring installment of the coming-of-age Silver Gilt trilogy (GAME, SET, MATCH).
