The highest stakes…
My father gambles every night, falling deeper and deeper into debt. When he hits the bottom, he places a new bet: his daughter. I’m his entry bet to the biggest underground poker game.
Every kind of danger circles the velvet-covered table, but only one man makes me tremble.
A trailer park princess.
The son of a criminal king.
We don’t belong together, but I’m caught in a twisted game.
His eyes meet mine with dark promise. And when he puts down his cards, I know I’m going to lose more than my body. I’m going to lose everything.

THE KING is the first book in the new Masterpiece duet about risking your heart and finding yourself. It’s a spin-off from the USA Today bestselling trilogy but can be read separately.
Skye Warren never disappoints!
I fell in love with Skye a few years back, due to her spectacular story-telling and sultry love/sex/dubious encounter scenes. The Endgame Series took that admiration that I have for her to the next level.
With The King, she delivered to us a closer look at both Jonathan and Damon Scott. Jonathan is a sick mother fucker with serious issues (just he kind of villain that I like!).
Excerpt
On my deathbed there will be Jonathan Scott teeth marks aching on my skin. With my final breath I’ll remember how it felt to drown.
Whereas Damon, underneath his hard, rough exterior, lies secret compassion and a drive to do the right thing, but in his own dark way. He’s fought his entire life to keep from ending up like his father. And as much as he tries to stay away from trouble, he always finds his way back to it.
Excerpt
He leans close, his gaze a dark promise. One millimeter away from me, so close it hurts to be apart. Like our lips are magnets, trembling with an unseen force. His hand holds me away, that small amount.
“Say no,” he murmurs. “Scream. Fight me. Cry for me to stop.”
“Is that how you like it?” I whisper, the words brushing my lips against his. Only the smallest shake of his head.
“I like you moaning and needy and begging me for more.” I can’t imagine moaning.
“How do you know?”
“Because I did dream of you, Penny. I dreamed of you and I watched you and I wanted you. Even though I knew it was wrong, I couldn’t stop. It isn’t about how old you are—it’s you. It’s only ever been you.”
I don’t want to give too much away as far as the plot goes, but this book intertwines flawlessly with the books from The Endgame Series. I like how Gabriel and Avery had chess to use together as well as against one another. Like in their story, Damon and Penny also have their own game.
Whether Skye had to research this information or she already knows all about it (and if so… please don’t get whacked by the mob in Vegas!) to be able to touch on a subject that I have always been weak with, and actually make me understand enough to follow the storyline, is brilliant! Again, I don’t want to give away their special “game” or “challenge” that Damon and Penny enjoy, but if you were a fan of Gabriel and Avery, then you will absolutely love Damon and Penny.
Excerpt
Together. That’s how we’ll do this. Some small part of my soul eases at the knowledge. And I realize that even with Daddy, with Mama, I have always been alone. Only now with these people, this group of criminals and fallen heiresses, do I feel like I could have a true family.
As always, I will be waiting very (IM)patiently for the next installment.
