Emily’s Game

Emily holds many secrets. Some secrets are harmless pleasant surprises, some are born out of a need for protection. Other secrets are more complicated. Jack sees Emily as brilliant, fiercely independent, and always several chess moves ahead of everyone around her. Her brilliance and toughness are inherited from her powerful father, Samuel Briggs, who runs a worldwide business empire. But unlike her father, Emily knew how to love, and loyalty came naturally to her.

Another trait Emily shared with her father was the ability to overcome whatever challenge was placed before her. She believed in her ability to find checkmate. But when one of the games turns dangerous, winning stops being the point. When the moment comes for her to choose between saving her father or her husband, she raises the stakes to the breaking point by deciding to try to save them both.

This psychological romance is sensual, opulent, and suspenseful. Emily's twists and secrets always make sense, even when they cost her everything.
