书籍简介

玛洛莉-格林里夫（Mallory Greenleaf）已经不再下棋了。如今，每一步棋都很重要；四年前，这项运动导致她家破人亡后，玛洛莉把重心放在了妈妈、妹妹们身上，以及那份维持生计的无用工作上。直到她勉强答应参加慈善比赛，无意中与声名狼藉的 "弑君者 "诺兰-索耶（Nolan Sawyer）擦肩而过：他是现任世界象棋大师，也是象棋界的 "坏小子"。

诺兰输给了一个不知名的车仔，这让所有人都大跌眼镜。更令人困惑的是什么？他想再次过兵。诺兰到底在玩什么把戏？明智之举是离开 辞职 游戏结束 但是，玛洛莉的胜利为她打开了一扇通往急需的奖金的大门。尽管如此，她还是情不自禁地被这位神秘的战略家....。

随着她的排名直线上升，玛洛莉努力让自己的家庭安全地与当初破坏家庭的游戏分开。当她对这项她曾极度憎恨的运动的爱开始重新点燃时，Mallory 很快意识到，游戏并不只在棋盘上，聚光灯比她想象的更亮，竞争也会很激烈（--很有吸引力。 很聪明......也很让人生气......）。

Mallory Greenleaf is done with chess. Every move counts nowadays; after the sport led to the destruction of her family four years earlier, Mallory’s focus is on her mom, her sisters, and the dead-end job that keeps the lights on. That is, until she begrudgingly agrees to play in charity tournament and inadvertently wipes the board with notorious “Kingkiller” Nolan Sawyer: current world master and reigning Bad Boy of chess.

Nolan’s loss to an unknown rook-ie 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 everything, she can’t help feeling drawn to the enigmatic strategist....

As she rockets up the ranks, Mallory struggles to keep her family safely separated from the game that wrecked it in the first place. And as her love for the sport she so desperately wanted to hate begins to rekindle, Mallory quickly realizes that the games aren’t only on the board, the spotlight is brighter than she imagined, and the competition can be fierce (-ly attractive. And intelligent…and infuriating…)
