英文简介:
In this clever and swoonworthy YA debut from the New York 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 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.

中文简介:
在这部由《纽约时报》畅销书《爱情假说》作者创作的这部聪明而令人着迷的青少年处女作中,生活中的动人棋子将棋手们聚集在一起,展开一场心灵对决。
马洛里·格林利夫 (Mallory Greenleaf) 擅长国际象棋。
如今,一举一动都很重要。
四年前,这项运动导致她的家庭遭到破坏后,马洛里的注意力集中在她的妈妈、她的姐妹们以及维持生计的没有出路的工作上。
直到她不情愿地同意参加最后一场慈善锦标赛,并无意中与臭名昭著的“弑君者”诺兰·索耶(Nolan Sawyer)——现任世界冠军、卫冕国际象棋坏小子——擦出了棋盘。
诺兰输给了一位不知名的新秀,这让所有人都感到震惊。
更令人困惑的是什么呢?他渴望再次交叉棋子。
诺兰在玩什么策略?明智的举动是走开。
辞职。
游戏结束。
但马洛里的胜利为她打开了获得急需的现金奖励的大门,尽管如此,她还是情不自禁地被这位神秘的战略家所吸引……随着她的排名迅速上升,马洛里努力让她的家人安全地远离这场游戏。
一开始就毁掉了它。
当她对这项她非常想讨厌的运动的热爱开始重新燃起时,马洛里很快意识到比赛不仅仅在棋盘上,聚光灯比她想象的更亮,而且竞争可能会很激烈(非常有吸引力。
而且聪明……又令人愤怒……)
