In his game of chess, she’s just a convenient pawn. Too bad he has all the right moves. A winner-takes-all romance from the USA Today–bestselling author. Greek tycoon Nicodemus Stathis was never able to forget beautiful heiress Mattie Whitaker. And now, ten years of delicious tension later, Nic finally has her right where he wants her. Mattie’s once powerful family dynasty now lies in ruin, and only Nic can offer them a solution—a solution with vows! She might not have a choice, but Mattie refuses to be the sacrificial queen to his king. But Nic’s slow, deliberate seduction wears down his new bride, and the word “checkmate” lies on his lips like a promise. “Superbly written with a sizzling hot romance and a well executed marriage of convenience plot.” —Harlequin Junkie
