Team Zeus was designed to love and protect me, and they swore that they would do whatever it takes to keep me safe, even if that means I would never forgive them. It's a risk they say they're willing to take. But I'm no longer the little girl they swore to protect. I'm all grown up and refuse to rely on anyone other than myself.

Noch nie war Schach so cool und flirty... Mallory Greenleaf hat sich geschworen, nie wieder Schach zu spielen. Denn das Spiel, das sie jahrelang geliebt hat, hat ihr zu viel genommen. Doch als ihre beste Freundin sie überredet, bei einem Wohltätigkeitsturnier einzuspringen, kann Mallory nicht ablehnen.

When the brochure for the expedition mysteriously appeared on my front porch, it was like fate interceded: I could win the bet while simultaneously getting a vacation from my irritating neighbor.
