Synopsis "Check & Mate"
In this clever and swoonworthy YA debut from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis, life's moving pieces bring rival chess players together in a match for the heart. Mallory Greenleaf is done with chess. Every move counts nowadays; after the sport led to the destruction of her family four years earlier, Mallory's focus is on her mom, her sisters, and the dead-end job that keeps the lights on. That is, until she begrudgingly agrees to play in one last charity tournament and inadvertently wipes the board with notorious "Kingkiller" Nolan Sawyer: current world champion and reigning Bad Boy of chess. Nolan's loss to an unknown rook-ie shocks everyone. What's even more confusing? His desire to cross pawns again. What kind of gambit is Nolan playing? The smart move would be to walk away. Resign. Game over. But Mallory's victory opens the door to sorely needed cash-prizes and despite everything, she can't help feeling drawn to the enigmatic strategist.... As she rockets up the ranks, Mallory struggles to keep her family safely separated from the game that wrecked it in the first place. And as her love for the sport she so desperately wanted to hate begins to rekindle, Mallory quickly realizes that the games aren't only on the board, the spotlight is brighter than she imagined, and the competition can be fierce (-ly attractive. And intelligent...and infuriating...)
Ali Hazelwood es el seudónimo de una profesora italiana de neurociencia y escritora de novelas románticas. Sus historias se centran en mujeres en los campos STEM y académicos. Su primera novela, The Love Hypothesis, fue un éxito de ventas del New York Times.
Ali Hazelwood es autora de múltiples publicaciones... por desgracia, de artículos sobre neurología revisados por pares, en los que nadie se da besos y en los que el para siempre no es siempre feliz. Nacida en Italia, vivió en Alemania y Japón antes de trasladarse a Estados Unidos para doctorarse en neurociencia. Hace poco se convirtió en profesora, algo que la tiene aterrorizada. Cuando Ali no está trabajando, se dedica a correr, hacer ganchillo, comer cake pops y ver películas de ciencia ficción con sus dos jefes supremos felinos (y su algo menos felino marido). Su primera novela, "La hipótesis del amor", ha sido un éxito de ventas mundial. Disponible de Ali Hazelwood en Contraluz: "La hipótesis del amor" y "La química del amor".
