In this clever and swoonworthy new novel from the New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis, life''s moving pieces bring rival chess players together in a match for the heart.

Mallory Greenleaf is done with chess.

Nolan''s loss to an unknown rookie shocks everyone. What''s even more confusing? His desire to cross pawns again. What kind of gambit is Nolan playing? The smart move would be to walk away. Resign. Game over. But Mallory''s victory opens the door to sorely needed cash-prizes and despite everythin
