Pawn Takes Queen

De: Lynda Ashley

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Every lie she told kept her alive. Now, they’ve come back to kill her. Jamie Aeryn’s final battle isn’t for her life; it’s for everyone else’s.
Jamie has spent years surviving, bending, enduring, and shielding those she loves from a world built on power, lies, and blood. But every choice, every deception, and every body left behind has a cost… and the debt is finally coming due.

She thought she could outmaneuver the storm. But this time, the storm has a name, and it knows hers. Jamie Aeryn built her life on secrets. For years, she’s shielded her children, her business, and the women who depend on her by staying two steps ahead of the predators that circle her world.

But survival always comes with a cost, and the bill is due. Enemies who once watched from the shadows are now striking in the open, ruthless men like Scott Williams, whose charm hides mob venom, and Marsten, whose obsession writes itself in roses and blood. Every ally Jamie has counted on is either compromised, broken, or gone. Collins, the detective who hunted her for years, now finds himself battered into uneasy alliance. And Jacobs, the one man she might trust, knows more than he’s saying, especially about Randy, the flamboyant trickster who may not be a fool at all.

As the circle tightens, Jamie faces an impossible truth: she is leverage in a game of power that reaches far higher than she ever imagined. Each move she makes puts her children in greater danger. Each lie she spins becomes another thread in the web strangling her.

To survive, she’ll have to embrace the side of herself she’s fought hardest to bury, the ruthless strategist, the woman willing to burn everything down before she lets anyone else write her ending.

This fast-paced thriller blends crime, psychological suspense, and noir drama, perfect for readers who love strong female leads, morally complex heroines, and series filled with danger, betrayal, and heart-stopping twists.
