Synopsis:

Emily's Game

— A Game That Traps Everyone in It

Author: Gary Marks

Emily holds many secrets.

Her first revealed secret shocks her husband-to-be, Jack Hampton, while they're still in college, and it suddenly changes the shape of their future together in ways Jack could only have dreamed of.

Other secrets are more complicated.

Jack sees Emily for exactly who she is —beautiful, brilliant, and fiercely independent. She seems to be three moves ahead of everyone around her—including her powerful father, Samuel Briggs, the mastermind of a worldwide business empire.

Emily also likes to win. But the game she's playing becomes dangerous. At some point, winning seems to be beyond the point. She needs to find a way to save her father, or her husband. Or find a way to save them both.

This business-driven psychological romance novel is sensual, opulent, and suspenseful right to the end because Emily doesn't just deliver twists and turns. She makes you understand why each twist needs to happen, despite the consequences.
