Gloria Addison has always come first-top marks, top form, top of the class. Raised in comfort, refined by ambition, she's the kind of girl who simply doesn't lose.
Until Theo Shaw shows up.

Neither expected the tension.
And neither, absolutely neither, expected this.
When egos clash and sparks fly, only one can come out on top.
But in this game of pride, wit, and hearts on the line-
who'll be the first to cry checkmate?
