Anne Natalie: Checkmate, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Katerina "Kaye" Grace isn't ready to die. As "Checkmate," her powers of energy manifestation and manipulation earned powerful enemies-including Charade, whose touch contains both intoxicating pleasure and lethal control.

When Checkmate is captured by the Confederation for Citizen Protection, a powerful anti-superhero organization, Charade is the last person she expects to save her. Now, a guest in Charade's world of cat and mouse games and forbidden temptations, she is thrust into a city she never knew existed. One of corruption and sin, with assassins and CCP sympathizers hunting in the shadows. Kaye is willing to pay with her life to save her city, and with it her soul.

Zane Maxwell is dead-at least he's supposed to be. He lost everything the night he saw the woman he loved die on the banks of the New Malcolm River. From those ashes, Charade was born and with him a darkness Zane struggles daily to control. A darkness that demands not only justice, but retribution.

It was impossible with Checkmate in the way. His fierce adversary, whose fiery opposition makes his blood sing. His enemies made her their hero, someone Zane desired as much as loathed, then broke her. Luckily for her, she's the perfect key to his revenge. But the woman behind the mask is more enticing than he ever could have dreamed, and there's no game he loves more than pushing her buttons. As they close in on their target and the monster within him is unleashed, he'll have to decide if vengeance is worth sacrificing the nemesis who stole his heart.
