Overview

From the author of Bad Reputation comes a smart and sexy second-chance romance, where exes reunite to adapt a memoir, only to discover that after a decade apart, they might finally be ready for more. Working with your ex isn’t that bad an idea—not with artistic integrity on the line. Jaime Croft is determined to prove his directorial range, and Scarlett Arbuthnot’s biography is the perfect project. He once thought Scarlett was his perfect match too, but it’s been seventeen years. Surely he’s over it by now. Or maybe not. Scarlett is a grand master taking the chess world by storm. If she can handle that pressure, she can handle Jaime Croft. Even if that means working together in close quarters…and constant reminders of how she broke his heart. She didn’t do it without reason, but if he knew the details, he would despise her even more. As Jaime and Scarlett pore over her memoir, they unlock their own memories, and old feelings rise to the surface. But giving in means abandoning the walls they’ve built to protect themselves, and that’s a move neither one seems ready to make.

Reviews

“Emma Barry’s Bold Moves delivers some of my favorite things: second chance romance, two people who are both very good at their jobs, and a little bit of strip chess, as a treat. Jaime and Scarlett’s dynamic reminds me of a chess match—intense and focused and always on the precipice of that one move that might change everything. I had so much fun with this book!” —Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of The Art of Catching Feelings “In Bold Moves, Emma Barry sets the board with everything second-chance romance lovers crave—palpable tension, years of secret pining, and two complicated, competent leads who challenge each other…and are inescapably better together. The chess analogies for life and love are immaculate, the banter is achingly real, Jaime and Scarlett’s push-pull is angsty and sexy throughout, and it’s all wrapped up with a tender, satisfying conclusion. This is top-tier contemporary romance.” —Jen Devon, author of Right Where We Left Us
