    Summary

    William Reginald Fife is a man who sees the world as a board of chess, every person he meets a moving piece to be directed to suit his goals. What happens when he sets his sights on the elusive gossip writer of the Ton, intent on making her a piece in his game, only to realize that a Queen moves as she will?

    Or the one where Fife tries to trap Penelope for his shady schemes, but ends up falling hopelessly in love with her instead. [Formerly titled In the Shadows]
