Mira Keller can rewrite any story—except her own.

As the rising narrative designer behind Project Hekate, she knows how to turn chaos into meaning. Nothing prepares her for Julian Rhiner, Nocturne Interactive's brilliant and infuriating creative director. Their chemistry is instant, their timing catastrophic.

While Mira struggles to keep a slipping relationship together, Julian fights to maintain balance in the flawless world he shares with Chiara Fuchs, heir to one of Switzerland's most powerful corporate families.

Then the first anomaly strikes: a leak, a mirrored commit, a FINMA audit that detonates the company overnight. Whispers spread, fingers point, the ground shifts beneath everyone. In the mounting pressure, Mira and Julian are drawn together by a force neither can rationalize—or resist.

Set between Zurich's shimmering glass towers and Vienna's golden concert halls, The Game, The Glitch, and the Glorious Mess is a slow-burn, emotionally charged blend of romance and corporate suspense about ambition, timing, and the beautiful wreckage that follows when two people collide at the wrong moment… and everything breaks open.
