Check & Mate

From the bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis comes Check & Mate, a swoon-worthy and smart young adult romance about second chances, strategy, and falling in love—on and off the chessboard.

Mallory Greenleaf swore off chess after it upended her family’s life. But when she’s forced to play in a charity tournament, she unexpectedly beats the reigning world champion, Nolan Sawyer—and ends up thrust back into a world she tried to leave behind.

As Mallory is pulled deeper into competitive chess, she must navigate rivalries, unresolved pain, and a slow-burning attraction to Nolan. But can she really risk her heart and her future for the game that once broke her?

Witty, emotional, and empowering, Check & Mate is perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, girl power, and classic Hazelwood chemistry.
