The Pawn

GENRE: Contemporary
Romance
BLURB:
The price of
survival…
Gabriel Miller swept
into my life like a storm. He tore down my father with cold retribution,
leaving him penniless in a hospital bed. I quit my private all-girl’s college
to take care of the only family I have left.
There’s one way to
save our house, one thing I have left of value.
My virginity.
A forbidden auction…
Gabriel appears at
every turn. He seems to take pleasure in watching me fall. Other times he’s the
only kindness in a brutal underworld.
Except he’s playing a
deeper game than I know. Every move brings us together, every secret rips us
apart. And when the final piece is played, only one of us can be left standing.
THE PAWN is a
full-length contemporary novel from New York Times bestselling author Skye
Warren about revenge and seduction in the game of love.
Excerpt:
A
sense of familiarity fills the space between us even though I know we haven’t
met. This man is a stranger, but he looks at me as if he wants to know me. He
looks at me as if he already does. There’s an intensity to his eyes when they
sweep over my face, as firm and as telling as a touch.
“I
need…” A thud against my ribs as I think about all the things I need—a rewind
button. One person in the city who doesn’t hate me by name alone. “I need a
loan.”
He
gives me a slow perusal, from the nervous slide of my tongue along my lips to
the high neckline of my dress. I tried to dress professionally—a black
cowl-necked sweater and pencil skirt. His strange amber gaze unbuttons my coat,
pulls away the expensive cotton, tears off the cotton fabric of my bra and
panties. He sees right through me, and I shiver as a ripple of awareness runs
over my skin.
I’ve
met a million men in my life. Shaken hands. Smiled. I’ve never felt as seen
through as I do right now. Never felt like someone has turned me inside out,
every dark secret exposed to the harsh light. He sees my weaknesses, and from
the cruel set of his mouth, he likes them.
His
lids lower. “And what do you have for collateral?”
Nothing
except my word. That wouldn’t be worth anything if he knew my name.
