Checkmate, My King
She was a mother searching for her children—until she became collateral.
Kidnapped and delivered into a world where women have a price and power is inherited through fear and blood, Tara knows survival depends on one thing: making herself too valuable to destroy.
AJ was raised to rule this world. Ruthless, controlling, and dangerously possessive, he should see Tara as nothing more than another piece on the board.
Instead, she becomes the one variable he can't control.
As AJ's obsession grows, Tara uses his attention to buy herself time—time to learn the organization, uncover its weaknesses, and find her children. But possession begins to blur into protection, and the attraction between captor and captive becomes something neither of them planned.
Tara won't mistake captivity for love. Her children come first. Her freedom still matters.
And while AJ believes he's keeping her, Tara is quietly learning how to destroy everything he was raised to inherit.
He took her freedom. She’ll take his empire.
Checkmate, My King is a high-heat dark romantic suspense featuring captive/captor dynamics, an obsessive and possessive morally gray MMC, forced proximity, dubious consent, psychological manipulation, organized crime, revenge, and a pawn-to-queen heroine.
