The Illusion of a Gambit: A Contemporary Romance About Risk, Timing, and What It Costs to Walk Away (Calculated Hearts #2)
Rowan Blake
They didn’t fail. They chose themselves. Sam built her life on discipline and certainty. Ryan built his on instinct and movement. When love demands compromise neither of them is ready to make, they walk away believing distance will protect what ambition cannot but separation has its own cost. As success sharpens and silence stretches, the question becomes impossible to ignore: Was walking away the safe move… or the fatal one?
The Illusion of a Gambit is Book Two in the Calculated Hearts trilogy—a slow-burn contemporary romance about timing, pride, and the quiet decisions that change everything.
Perfect for readers who love:
• Emotionally mature romance
• Character-driven tension
• Slow-burn chemistry

The final move awaits in Book Three.
