He’s the dark knight she can't resist. She’s the crack in his shining armour.
Loyal to king and country, MI6 operative Bishop is the agent you can trust for the toughest missions. But like her chess namesake, she tends to see the world in stark black and white.
When a high-stakes assignment in Hong Kong goes awry, her dark horse of a partner becomes the prime suspect. Bishop must now decide whether to trust him — or eliminate him.
Helix, the Special Ops golden boy, comes with a slight foreign accent and the face and body of a demigod. His undeniable chemistry with Bishop complicates matters, especially when she weaponises seduction to unmask him as a Neo-Soviet double agent.
Between bullets and bureaucracy, their passions spiral into chaos in a safehouse that is anything but. In this deadly game of real-world chess, can Bishop and her knight make it to the endgame?
