[Ridge Rogues 02] • Of Bishops And Pawns

I played the game.

There were rules.

There was strategy.

There was always an escape.

No one knew how my past dictated my every move.

I did everything to keep the nightmares of my childhood at bay.

I reveled in my playboy reputation.

Then Sarah Hodges made a wrong move.

One that left me wondering how to match her play.

We weren’t supposed to work.

She was everything I wasn’t.

But she had secrets of her own.

Ones that left me shocked and furious.

Ones that gave me a leg up.

Or so I thought.

It only took one quick game to land us in checkmate,

something Wellington University never saw coming.
