Publisher Description
The price of survival…
Gabriel Miller swept into my life like a storm. He tore down my father with cold retribution, leaving him penniless in a hospital bed. I quit my private all-girl’s college to take care of the only family I have left.
There’s one way to save our house, one thing I have left of value.
My virginity.
A forbidden auction…
Gabriel appears at every turn. He seems to take pleasure in watching me fall. Other times he’s the only kindness in a brutal underworld.
Except he's playing a deeper game than I know. Every move brings us together, every secret rips us apart. And when the final piece is played, only one of us can be left standing.
THE PAWN is a full-length contemporary novel from New York Times bestselling author Skye Warren about revenge and seduction in the game of love.

The Pawn
This is a dark and captivating tale. Avery seems to have the world and her feet then her world falls apart. Gabriel Miller is dangerously powerful but will he be her downfall or her salvation? This story is so well written and flows so freely you don't want to stop reading, you just want to know how it will end.
Checkmate!
I love a book that I can’t put down!
Not only am I excited to continue reading this series, I will also be hunting down more books from Skye Warren.
Breathtaking and gritty
You get a certain idea of a book in your head from reading the blurb, so of course I knew kind of what to expect... But the delivery was something else on this one. I always feel like I over-gush when I read books by Skye Warren, but I'm genuinely blown away each and every time.
Avery is broke and desperate with no options left until she goes to see a loan shark and gets an offer to auction off her virginity instead. We meet Gabriel early on and there should be nothing remotely redeeming about him, but in true dark romance style, of course we're drawn to him. He's dark, feral, mysterious and he offers crumbs of kindness that Avery so desperately craves.
I loved the raw honesty between the characters. I think ultimately it made me feel that much more sharply the moment when Avery, after feeling like she may have finally figured things out, gets the rug ripped out from under her all over again.
And the surprise cameo from past Stripped characters was so cool.
I'm a bit sad to have to wait until January to have some answers, but the hangover was worth it.
