***
Logan Knight is a real life knight in shining armor.
A detective godsend in a sleek black suit has me thinking less than secretive thoughts. Brooding and
mysterious, he’s the kind of guy every girl instantly notices. Between his seductive smirk and
charming good looks, it’s no wonder I can’t help the way he makes me feel whenever I’m near him.
Too bad he’s unavailable—or so he says.
He thinks I’m a do-gooder who shouldn’t get involved with a guy like him. His past is messy and
relationships just add to that. He insists the timing is all wrong and he’s devoted to his career, but I
don’t buy that excuse for a second. I see the way his body tenses and his jaw ticks every time
another guy is around me. He just won’t admit it, but I’m more determined than ever to show him
what he’s missing.
I’m a devoted animal rescuer and I’ll risk everything to save them, but when a dramatic turn of
events puts both our lives at risk, I’m positive Logan will write me off for good. But when he asks for
my help with a personal crisis, I know it’s my last chance to finally show him I can handle anything
he throws my way—messy past and all.
He might think he has me all figured out, but I’ll prove him wrong no matter what he thinks. This
game of push and pull has me running in circles. One wrong move and we could both lose.
Checkmate, Knight.
*Recommend for ages 18+ due to sexual content and adult language.*
**This is book 1 in the Logan & Kayla Saga–a second-chance romance. You don’t need to
read any of the other Checkmate series to enjoy this one, but is always recommended as they
are both introduced in the earlier books.**

Every part of my body is on fire, fueled by the electricity between Logan and me as his lips glide
across the softness of mine. The low hum in my stomach aches when he pulls us apart, and I fight
the urge to press my lips back to his.
His lips are red and swollen, probably just like mine are right now. I don’t know what got into him, but
Logan and I have never, ever kissed before. Hell, we’ve slow danced before at weddings, but
nothing this intimate—ever.
“I think that did the trick,” he finally says, catching his breath. Fred left over two minutes ago.
“Yeah, I think so.” I take a small step back, trying to act unaffected, but the hard beating in my chest
gives me away. I know he feels it, too. I just don’t understand why he pretends he doesn’t. “Thanks
for your help,” I say, breaking the tension.
“Anytime. It was fun watching him sweat.” He grins, rocking back and forth on his feet, gripping the
coffee cup tight in his hand. He’s just as nervous as I am.
“Don’t you get enough of that at work?” I tease.
“Can never have enough.” He flashes a pleased smile.
“You do have some sick fetish for that, don’t you?”
“I do. Gets all my juices flowing,” he quips.
And just like that, we’re back to our platonic friendship as if the kiss never happened. However, the
ache between my legs knows otherwise. It happened, and it was hot as hell.
“What are you doing on a dating website anyway?” he asks after I grab another cup of coffee and sit
across from him at the table.
“How else am I supposed to meet guys?” I ask, although it’s really a rhetorical question. “Guys in
bars just want sex and one-night stands. I have a strict no dating guys from work rule and everyone
else is taken or just wants me to be apart of their menage a trois.”
His brows lift. “What kind of people are you hanging out with?”
I sigh. “This city literally has no available, decent, single men. I might as well just move to another
planet. Like Pluto. Get as far away from here as possible.”
“Actually, Pluto isn’t a planet anymore,” he tells me matter-of- factly.
I blink, unamused. “Great. I can’t escape this damn city.”
He chuckles, and I only slightly hate that he finds my pathetic dating life entertaining. “You’re still
young. No need to panic until you’re like…thirty.”
I grab a piece of his pastry and throw it at him. “You suck.” I scowl. “I’m twenty-six, which means I’m
almost thirty, and almost thirty means I should be with the guy I’m planning on marrying. Otherwise,
I’ll be forty, my looks will be gone, my boobs will have fallen to my feet, and I’ll have gray hair,” I
ramble, knowing I’m over exaggerating, but right now it feels true. Every date is a disaster. More
than the last.
