Getting Played, a magnificent new romance by New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase.
Dean Walker is all about keeping life simple. He’s effortlessly talented and intelligent—spending his summers playing drums in the local band and the rest of the year teaching high school in the same Jersey town where he grew up. He likes his love-life simple too, enjoying the commitment-free hook-ups his good looks and sexy charm have always made oh-so easy.
Then he meets Lainey Burrows. And his simple, easy life gets turned upside down.
***
One wild one-night stand was all it was ever supposed to be, so Lainey is shocked when she discovers that her sizzling summer fling is also her son’s new math teacher. But that’s nothing compared to the most unexpected twist of all—their hot hook-up left Lainey knocked-up, and now they’re about to become parents. Together.
What ensues is an addictive, insatiable, sweet and tender romance that won’t be simple, but it will be more than worth the fight.
A stand-alone, contemporary romance.

Excerpt:
Dean
I find Lainey in the living room—standing on a ladder, with those long, toned legs peeking out from itty bitty cotton black shorts and a power drill in her hand, while Bruce Springsteen sings “I’m Goin’ Down” from a speaker in the corner.
And, dear God—the things I could do to her on that ladder.
Wonderful, filthy things that instantly make my heart pound and my cock throb. She’s the perfect height for me to just walk over there and put my mouth between her legs. I picture it, see it in my mind—the way she’d grip my hair and pant my name, arch her back and writhe against my face . . .
But then I catch sight of the small bump of her stomach, and reality smacks me in the head. I think about the baby—and how making Lainey lose her mind three feet off the ground wouldn’t be the safest option. My protective instinct overrides the desire to get freaky on the ladder.
“Hey, Dean.” She sets the drill on the ledge and picks up a beeping light green rectangle, running it along the wall.
“What are you doing up there?” I ask.
I don’t have a decorative bone in my body, but the room looks good—with light gray walls and navy corduroy covered couches, reclaimed wood tables and a dozen different-sized candles filling the white-washed brick fireplace. It’s clean and simple but warm, the kind of place you’d look forward to coming back to every day.
“I’m going to hang up those boards.” Lainey gestures to three square planks, with ornamental arrows burned black into the wood. “I just want to make sure this stud-finder works.”
“If you’re looking for a stud,” I wink, “I’m standing right in front of you.”
“Ha-ha. I’ll keep that in mind.”
She turns back to the wall, reaching up over her head and stretching onto her tippy toes on the narrow step. I move under the ladder to catch her if she goes ass over end, and a stab of terror slices through me at the thought that Lainey would still be doing this if I wasn’t here. Alone. Without Jason even in the room in case something went terribly wrong.
What the hell is up with that?
“I read that you’re not supposed to reach above your head when you’re pregnant.”
“That’s just an old wives’ tale.”
I wrap my hands around her hips, holding her steady.
“Maybe the old wives knew what they were talking about. Come on, come down.”
Slowly, Lainey lowers her arms and turns in my hands. I lift her off the ladder by her hips, tilting my head back and holding her above me for a moment, before sliding her slowly down. And the feel of her softness rubbing against me, the friction—it’s fantastic.
When her feet are on the ground, I dip my head and our faces are just millimeters apart. Close enough to count the sprinkle of cute, light freckles that dust the bridge of her nose.
“That’s better,” I say softly, taking the stud-finder out of her hands. “I’ll do it.”
“Okay.” Lainey’s tongue peeks out, wetting her bottom lip. “Thanks.”
Like I said . . . fucking killing me.

Michel’s Review
Emma Chase has finally brought her readers back to Lakeside, NJ for another small town/ adult high school adventure. This time around it’s the assistant coach, AP Math teacher, and drummer rock god, Dean Walker is on the playlist.
Lainey Burrows, single mother and popular blogger is out celebrating her success when she meets the sexy drummer from the band Amber Sound. Being a single mother and sole provider doesn’t leave much time for dating or sex. A one night stand is just what she needs to make her celebration complete. He’s not from this area and she’s moving within weeks. She will never have to see him again. Her wild night can be her secret.
Lainey has signed on for a one year blogging show on FB. She will be re-furbishing and redecorating an old lake house in Lakeside, NJ. The small town area is perfect for her do-it-yourself projects and lifestyle tips. It’s also an opportunity for her brilliant nerdy teenage son to have a new start and maybe make new friends. He has spent his life with his nose buried in books and focused on school. She’s hoping he’ll find friends and a social life in this new place. Moving day is perfect until she realizes she’s pregnant. Suddenly she’s got a new life project in her new adventure.
Her son is adjusting well to Lakeside. He loves his AP Math teacher, the mathletes club, and his new friends. When she goes for her first parent teacher conference she’s in for a big surprise. Her sexy drummer boy / baby daddy is none other than Coach Walker, mathematical genius and town player.
Dean was the known player in Lakeside and now it’s his turn to fall. Between the Dork-Squad, the Gray Army, Lucy- the delightful kitty, a “haunted” lake house, ex girlfriends & hookups, and four snarky sisters… Dean just might make the cut. He has to prove he’s finally ready for the new game known as fatherhood. Ohhh… the mighty fall hard… and we readers get to experience this sexy genius drummer/ teacher become a clueless fool when faced with love. But when the mighty fall it is perfection on every level.
The one thing a reader can expect when opening an Emma Chase novel is pure, delightful, fun, light-hearted entertainment. Falling head over heels in love with these lovable clueless characters and experiencing a beautiful love story is reading perfection.
I absolutely loved Getting Played by Emma Chase.
