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 rookie 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...)This novel is suitable for both young adult and adult audiences.Fancy Meeting You Here: A Novel

Tras el éxito de la bilogía Mis Razones, Violeta Reed regresa con una nueva novela que enamorará a las lectoras.…
La pluma de Violeta Reed es actual, divertida y cautivadora, y el tira y afloja de William y Raquel engancha desde el minuto cero, pero ten cuidado: esta historia a fuego lento te derretirá por dentro. ELENA ARMAS ESCRIBIR ROMANCE NUNCA FUE TAN COMPLICADOWilliam Anderson es el escritor de fantasía más exitoso de la década, con millones de lectores enganchados a su pluma. Es exigente, ambicioso… y tremendamente atractivo. Y también es un bocazas. Raquel García es una joven española que llegó a Nueva York persiguiendo su sueño: trabajar en una de las editoriales más importantes del país. Lo que no imaginaba es que, para conseguirlo, debería lidiar con Anderson después de que este, con más ego que sentido común, prometa en un reconocido programa de televisión que su próximo libro será el best seller de romántica del año. William no está dispuesto a dejarse corregir y Raquel no va a pasarle ni una, sobre todo si lo que escribe está lleno de clichés pasados de moda. Condenados a entenderse, tendrán que trabajar juntos para superar un gran reto: sacar adelante la novela que cambiará sus vidas.UNA HISTORIA DE AMOR CORREGIDA EN BOLI ROJOBeauchamp Hall
