Hartley is a hopeless romantic with a passion for crafting heartfelt stories about small-town charm and rugged fictional cowboys (with big hearts and big...) When she's not writing, while drinking a glass of sweet red wine, she can be found doting on her beloved dog, Hank, or indulging in her absurd Swedish Fish addiction. Dedicated to making readers fall head over heels for romance, M. Hartley believes there's nothing better than a love story that lingers long after the last page is turned.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Page \u0026 Vine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53608569241899,"sku":"9781964264554","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0884\/7966\/2379\/files\/img_b5b80608-6230-4e8b-8b02-340e77684b42.jpg?v=1779472539","url":"https:\/\/www.txcorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/the-games-we-play-9781964264554","provider":"TX CorrectionsBookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
