The king is an excellent husband for a duke's daughter, so Lady Bethany believed the duke was finally doing something right as a father. Until she answered his summons to the palace and found there was no marriage. Instead, her father ordered her to pose as a servant. Worse than any scheme that came before, the directive emphasizes he doesn't care about her.

But now she's at the palace, and her roommate warned her away from a gorgeous man. A wild ride that could end in heartbreak? Surely not if you knew that going in. Yet a lady doesn't pursue libertine soldiers. Although, a lady shouldn't be shunned by her father either.

She knows what she should do - do as she's told and accept her situation. Yet, for twenty-one years, she's accepted her father's rejection time and time again. So for once in her life, would it be so bad to do what she wants? To be a woman and not a tool?

Antipositional Play is a stand-alone novel that parallels Knight and Queen. It's not necessary to the main Chess Series story arc, but it contains spoilers, and it should be read after them.
