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. 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 one last charity tournament and inadvertently wipes the board with notorious 'Kingkiller' Nolan Sawyer: current world champion and reigning Bad Boy of 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 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...)This novel is suitable for both young adult and adult audiences.

Body Check
New York Times bestselling author of the Briar U series Elle Kennedy's first hockey romance, Body Check, is now released in an expanded version, with both new and enhanced scenes by the author! More story, more hockey--and more heat! After a childhood spent being dragged around the country by her hockey coach father, Hayden Houston intends to take some time to figure out her future. Whether that future will include her currently off-again boyfriend remains to be seen. What it certainly won't include is the for-one-night-only guy she just met at a bar. It seems hockey star Brody Croft did not get the memo about being temporary. Big, bold and driven, he's dedicated in everything he does. Up till now, that's been his team--the one owned by Hayden's dad. But his night with Hayden has sparked something he didn't expect. The two of them are good together. Really good. There's a connection he's never experienced before, one he knows they'd be wrong to ignore. Even with a game-fixing scandal testing both their loyalties--to teammates, to friends...to family. Part of Hayden wants to turn tail and run. A complicated relationship with a bad boy hockey player is exactly what she never wanted. But when it comes to Brody, Hayden is realizing that people can be so much more than what they seem.
