The Queen of Wall Street never expected to be checkmated by love. Victoria Hamilton rules the corporate world with the same precision she brings to chess-calculated moves, perfect strategy, no room for error. But her carefully controlled game is upended when she meets Ryan Rivera, a brilliant jazz pianist who teaches chess to underprivileged kids in a basement club. Their attraction defies the board, a queen falling for a knight from another world. As their relationship deepens over midnight chess matches and piano melodies, Victoria's board of directors plots their own deadly game. Led by a rival suitor, they'll stop at nothing to force their queen into the right move-even if it means destroying Ryan's chess program and his future. Now Victoria faces an impossible choice: sacrifice her knight to save her crown, or risk everything for a chance at checkmate. Some games are worth more than winning.
