The Chess Master Chronicles

A Sam's Café Romances Collection Welcome to Sam's Café, where men from all walks of life gather for the best coffee in town and to try their hands at the King's Game. Through challenges on and off the board, they move toward an endgame that might involve romance and a happily ever after-if they make the right moves. The King's Mate Sam convinces Russell Pine to act as grandmaster in a chess tournament, but he soon learns the game isn't the real challenge. A secret admirer is courting Russ through words and pictures. But in a café full of beautiful young minds, who could be interested in the aging chessmaster? A Wounded Promise With his abusive ex behind bars, Justin is eager to pursue his relationship with Russ. But when an alcohol-induced rage rekindles Justin's trauma, Russ will have to find a way to make amends for his mistake and heal the wounds on his lover's heart. The Rodeo Knight Amnesiac Brian Stouten doesn't fit into the heterosexual life laid out by his family, so he returns to a small college town in search of clues to his past. The man he hopes to contact won't be of any help-but an out-of-place cowboy just might.
