Lucas Knight, a charming former chess prodigy and grandmaster turned flirtatious manager, is used to playing the game of love like one of his matches-quick, strategic, and always on his terms.
But when he meets Mira Hughes, a no-nonsense cloud developer with big dreams and an even bigger belief in true love, he finds himself out of his depth. She's not interested in his smooth moves or romantic antics.
Determined to prove there's more to him than meets the eye, Lucas sets his sights on winning her over-but it's not going to be an easy checkmate.
Can a playboy and a hopeless romantic find common ground, or will their different views on love lead to a stalemate?
