But it's not over... because when she touches down on European soil, she steps right into the middle of the chessboard. Two men are chasing her, one of them is sexy and dangerous, vying for her heart. The other wants the thrill of taking her life with his bare hands.

Elliot is a skilled player who calls himself the King. He's out to expand his empire, and it includes Ms. Clemens. On this rollercoaster ride, the lines of justice get blurry.

Pawn; the weakest piece in the game of chess, who will fold?

Get prepared for the stakes to be raised a little higher with international kingpins, a new setting, taboo encounters, heartache, and secrets that need to be taken to the grave.
