Why we recommend it

The ruthless knight operates by rules but not the ones chivalry describes. Jade writes the bully romance with the chess metaphor grounding it — the knight moves unexpectedly, this one is ruthless in all his movements, and the heroine is learning the board in a game where the rules change based on what he decides.
