Adult contemporary romance. Jamie Croft still lives in his hometown, where he dealt with the fallout of his Dad's very public arrest as a teen. The girl he loved in high school, Scarlett Arbuthnot, left as soon as she could and hasn't been back. But now Jamie has become a successful independent producer and Scarlett has risen to fame as a chess grandmaster. She just released a memoir on her journey into the male-dominated world of chess. And Jamie wants to adapt it for film.

Scarlett and Jamie both have unresolved feelings for each other. Can they work together without falling in bed, or in love? This was a steamy second-chance romance with a full cast of characters. I couldn't put it down!
