For the notorious Lady Winter, seduction and duplicity are required to survive. Cunning and precision are the tools of pirate Christopher St. John. Pitted against one another, they are a surprise waiting to happen...
Set A Criminal To Catch A Criminal
Christopher St. John and Maria, Lady Winter, are infamous in Society for their misdeeds and their charming allures. Wherever they go, scandalized whispers and covetous glances follow. A ruthless pirate and a widow whose two husbands have met untimely deaths, the wickedly renowned figures are even more intriguing to the authorities. Now they've been set on the most provocative of tasks St. John is released from prison to learn the "Wintry Widow's" intimate secrets, while Lady Winter is charged with performing a similar deception in reverse. One will succeed. One will hang.
From Ballroom To Bedroom, They're Perfectly Matched
With the fate of loved ones in the balance, the unlikely couple embarks upon a battle of wills and wits that takes them from glittering ballrooms to the depths of the underworld to the candlelit pleasures of the bedroom. As they fall helpless to a desire and startling affinity neither expected, the deadly web of their subterfuge closes in, forcing them to make a choice. Individual freedom? Or an audacious scheme to keep an impossible yet irresistible love...
Passion for the Game is the follow up for Ask for It. Many people loved Asked for It and quite a few were not impressed. I fell somewhere in the middle, I also fell in love with St. John.
I seem to enjoy seeing a villain get reformed or seeing IF a villain can be made into a hero. I can't wait to see if this one can. You can get a taste of the book in the excerpt here.
Actually I really liked Asked For It, and plan to read Passion for The Game.
I'm drawn to stories featuring reformed villain. I can't wait to read this one!
this one sounds great!
This looks very fun!
I loved Ask for It and read it all the time. I'm a big fan of Sylvia Day. I can't wait to read this one.
