Check mate! Waitress by day, office cleaner by night, Kathy Galvin has put her painful past behind her. Until her impossibly rich, ruthless and handsome Sergio Torrente wrongfully accuses her of theft. With her future hanging on the outcome of a chess game, Kathy sacrifices her innocence for her freedom. Unable to work beneath Sergio's searing gaze, Kathy quits without realising that she's been left with a precious consequence of that night. But when Sergio tracks her down, she can't hide her pregnancy, and once again, she becomes a pawn in his game. He may not love her, but he will marry her and be a father to their child!
