Chanticleer Short Stories and Novellas Finalist, 2014 When schoolteacher Natalie meets chess grandmaster Adrien at the Bistro La Bohème, the connection is immediate and real. Romance is in the air -- until life makes a move to test how well they know their hearts...

Casey Kirkland despised monogamous, committed relationships. They never work out the way you want them to and you always end up hurt and betrayed, at least she was. Despite that fact, Casey always had an adventurous, independent streak and her choice of career as a Private Investigator reflected that. Not to mention her frivolous personal lifestyle. Next, you add the case of a lifetime and a considerable payment, to an adventurous P.I. and in walks Shane Watson. Quiet, easy going guy – oh yeah, and he’s gorgeous, who happens to be the fiancé of a well-known very public and prominent Southern California Socialite and accused of cheating – his reputation of being jealous and a local MMA fighter does not help. Not the career opportunity Casey wants to pass up, but get's more than she bargained for - Betrayal, scandal, sex, money, and love. © 2014 Amanda Nichols
