Description

📖 Paperback Edition — Her rival’s mother. Her sponsor. Her most dangerous game.

Nora Vale was once America’s most brilliant young chess talent — until a cheating scandal, a viral meltdown, and three years of exile made her a cautionary tale.

Celeste Armand is everything Nora isn’t: wealthy, composed, untouchable. A former world-ranked champion turned philanthropist, she offers Nora the comeback package of a lifetime.

There’s one problem. Celeste is the mother of Marin Armand — the rival Nora humiliated on live television.

The catch is that every training session feels like foreplay. The catch is that Celeste’s voice saying “Again” makes Nora want to drop to her knees. And falling for your rival’s mother isn’t a gambit. It’s a sacrifice.
