Chess Not Checkers

She thinks he’s an arrogant jerk. All Jasmine Chamberlain wants is to make her family proud.

Unfortunately for her, on her first day of chess club, she gets paired with an arrogant, flirty, hotshot quarterback with an affinity for pushing her buttons. Even worse? He’s better than her at chess. He thinks she’s gorgeous. Shepherd Kingsley is on a mission to escape his brother’s shadow. At every press conference and on every sports network, Shepherd is being compared to his undefeated brother. Determined to be known for his name and not his brother’s, he decides to beat every record Jason set. It’s all going according to plan until Jasmine shows up on campus. Shepherd is drawn to her fire immediately, but dating cheerleaders is forbidden, and he can’t risk being benched. Chess Not Checkers is a rivals-to-lovers college romance with all the sizzle, none of the spice.
