Overview
This paperback collection unites three of Ali Hazelwood's most talked-about romances in one gift-ready set. Check & Mate reimagines enemies-to-lovers on a chessboard, pairing a reluctant prodigy against the reigning world champion. Bride ventures into darker territory, blending paranormal politics with a slow-burn Vampyre-Werewolf romance built on duty and desire. Not in Love follows Hazelwood's signature workplace tension, pairing a biotech engineer with a professional rival she can't resist. Together, the three novels showcase her range across chess romance, paranormal fantasy, and STEM-flavored contemporary romance, united by sharp wit and irresistible slow-burn chemistry.
About the Books
Ali Hazelwood built her reputation writing brainy, banter-filled romances starring women who excel in male-dominated fields, and this three-book paperback set captures that appeal across very different worlds. Check & Mate follows Mallory Greenleaf, a former chess prodigy who walked away from the game after a family tragedy. A charity tournament pulls her back onto the board and into an unexpected rivalry-turned-romance with Nolan Sawyer, the reigning world champion nicknamed the Kingkiller; their matches double as a slow, tender negotiation between guarded hearts. Bride shifts into paranormal territory, introducing Misery Lark, a Vampyre council daughter forced into a political marriage with Lowe Moreland, an Alpha Werewolf, to hold a fragile truce between their peoples. What begins as a strategic alliance becomes a fight for trust and survival as old treaties threaten to collapse. Not in Love returns to contemporary ground with Rue Siebert, a biotech engineer whose company faces a hostile takeover led by Eli Killgore, the man standing in the way of her career and, inconveniently, her heart. As negotiations turn personal, Rue must decide how much she's willing to risk for both her work and her feelings. Across all three stories, Hazelwood's voice remains constant: clever heroines, richly drawn love interests, and dialogue that crackles with humor. Whether readers are drawn to game-table rivalry, paranormal stakes, or corporate intrigue, this collection offers three distinct entry points into Hazelwood's world, ideal for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
