Six outcasts. One murder. Over a decade of unfinished business.
They were misfits who found belonging in their high school chess club, until their teacher's brutal murder shattered everything and scattered them across the map. All except Wes, he stayed behind.
Now, tragedy calls them home to Lakeridge, North Carolina. Wes Davenport is dead. And someone in this town knows why.
Each member of the old Chess Club has changed:
- Grant, the prodigal son who swore he'd never move back.
- Chase, the ex-cop still haunted by the one he couldn't save.
- Logan, the former priest learning how to live again.
- Zach, the restless reporter chasing the story that might destroy him.
- Myke, the soldier who finally has something worth fighting for.
Together, they'll uncover a web of corruption, secrets, and blood that runs deeper than any of them imagined. Old loyalties will be tested, new loves will rise, and every move could be their last.
Because in Lakeridge, the chess match isn't over.
It's only just begun.

Bestselling author TK Eldridge retired from a career in Intelligence for the US Gov't to write. The experiences from then are now being used to feed the muse for romance, mysteries-thrillers, supernatural, paranormal, and whatever else captures their imagination.
TK Eldridge writes about all kinds of people because it is our variety as humans that makes us fascinating. Their hope is to encourage people to see the world differently through the character's eyes, and through the character's journey.
When they're not writing, they are enjoying life in the Blue Ridge mountains of western North Carolina. A pack of dogs, a garden, a craft hobby and a love of Celtic Traditional music keep them from spending too much time at the computer.
