Rise of the King

Checkmate, Book 5

De: Emilia Finn

Narrado por: Dane Anderson, Audrey Obeyn

Eighteen months ago, my world was tossed upside down amid horrified screams and merciless hellfire.

I was thrown into the flames to burn alive, but now I stand on the other side, invincible, untouchable, and un-f*cking-beatable.

Today, the ID in my wallet says John D. Hamilton. It’s the name I go by, the name the beautiful brunette sitting alone in Ginnie’s diner knows me as.

I was an undercover cop, once. A decorated agent who slid from my throne and descended into a world of pain and darkness. Then came Sophia Solomon, the light in my dark, the miracle who walks past my door and lends a little warmth in the dead of winter.

Sophia‘s beauty steals the breath from my lungs. She draws me in just by existing, but she doesn’t know my secrets.

I wasn’t born with the first name John, but then again, I wasn’t born a cocaine addict either, but here we are and both are true.

Now I’m on a mission to find the man that had me killed.

Rise of the King is a Checkmate Series suspenseful romance. It’s a compete standalone and has no cliffhanger. New readers can start here. But beware, not everything is as it seems.

Absolutely amazing!! Plot twists brought to life!!

The newly released audio version of this book narrated by Dane Anderson and Audrey Obeyn was absolutely phenomenal!! Even though I knew the mind-blowing plot twists coming, having read this book many times over the years, they brought it to life in a way that made it feel new again!! The unique banter, the passion, and the camaraderie that are unmatched in an EF book just exploded from their performances! This duo is slaying this series, and I am happily handing over all my credits!!🙌🏻
