Hardcover

A second-chance queer romance about two teens whose in-world D&D characters fall in love, but in IRL  . . . things are more complicated, perfect for lovers of Ashley Poston and Becky Albertalli.

Harper Reid's summer is not off to a great start.  After the death of her grandpa, she moves across the country, leaving her friends and Dungeons & Dragons group behind. She wasn’t exactly planning to start her senior year on the farm where she spent her childhood summers, but running into Ollie Shifflet—former best friend and first crush—makes things much better. When Harper discovers Ollie and her friends are starting a new D&D campaign, she quickly joins the group. As Harper and Ollie reconnect in the real world, romantic tension begins to build between Harper’s brash barbarian and Ollie’s proud paladin, but it's all just part of the game . . . right? 

Ollie's future depends on keeping her bisexuality private while Harper's dreams include an out-and-proud life in their rural town, but as their feelings continue to grow with each gaming session, their relationship begins threatening everything they've worked so hard to build. As the school year comes to a close and the campaign's final boss looms on the horizon, Harper and Ollie must decide: are their feelings more than just a fantasy? Because if they want a second chance at love, they'll have to fight for it, both in-game and in real life.


M. K. England grew up on the Space Coast of Florida watching shuttle launches from the backyard. These days, they live on a micro-farm in rural Virginia packed with video games, plants, D&D books, Star Wars memorabilia, and their preschooler's giant personality. They're probably covered in dirt right now. M. K. is the author of ten novels for kids, teens, and adults, with more on the way. You can find them at mkengland.com.

"This feel-good, queer coming-of-age story will circulate well in libraries with diverse young fantasy and Dungeons & Dragons fans."—School Library Journal “A coming-of-age tale and queer love story that offers a thoughtful look at the fear of being different.”—Kirkus Reviews “Weaving themes of queer identity, the power of found family, and finding strength to challenge conservative thinking in a small town, this fun, humorous, and empowering novel will charm sapphic romance fans.”—Booklist "I read this book in one sitting and adored every second of it. This joyous, loving book is the perfect blend of nerd culture and rom-com goodness. M. K. England maxed out their charisma and wisdom stats and rolled twenties every throw while writing this book!"—Beth Revis, New York Times Bestselling author of Night of the Witch "England's newest novel is perfect for readers in search of charming second-chance romance and queer found-family, and all the TTRPG puns. An endearing romance full of hope, pining, and potential TPKs, Roll for Love is a critical hit."—Linsey Miller, author of What We Devour and Prince of Song & Sea
