THE FINAL BOOK IN THE MASTERPIECE DUET!
I have one chance at a new life. A college education. A future outside of Tanglewood’s dark walls. For a breathless moment it seems like I might actually escape.
Then I get a phone call from home.
Damon Scott is my own personal dragon, the fight I’ve always lost, the secret hope of my heart. And he needs my help right now. Only my mind can solve the puzzle. Only my presence can keep him sane as the city fights against him.
Only my heart can unlock a man with such a tragic past.
This is my final gamble, with everything at stake. One last game to win a future for both of us.
And a love strong enough to break the city apart.
THE QUEEN is the final novel in the bestselling Masterpiece duet, about a game of lies and loyalty, of betrayal and power, and ascension to the city’s throne.
You can also order the paperback if you prefer to have Damon Scott in your hands. These covers look gorgeous in print ➤ http://amzn.to/2f8emfX
Check out some of the early reviews for THE QUEEN:
“I have loved this series from the very beginning with The Pawn and have pretty much held on during this exhilarating ride all the way through The Queen. This novel was sexy, heart-pounding, suspenseful and nothing short of phenomenal. It is quite honestly one of the best books I have ever read.” – Bookgasms Book Blog
“Skye Warren will suck you in with each book and you won’t want to put them down… If you read anything this year, this is it!” – Terren, Goodreads reader
“Omg! what a great read. I opened this book and could not set it down. Skye has a way of telling a story that literally keeps you glued to the pages.” – Chelle, Goodreads reader

My father gambles every night, falling deeper and deeper into debt. When he hits the bottom, he places a new bet: his daughter. I’m his entry bet to the biggest underground poker game.
Every kind of danger circles the velvet-covered table, but only one man makes me tremble.
A trailer park princess.
The son of a criminal king.
We don’t belong together, but I’m caught in a twisted game.
His eyes meet mine with dark promise. And when he puts down his cards, I know I’m going to lose more than my body. I’m going to lose everything.

Here are three things to know about THE KING on release day…
1. THE KING is the first book in the new Masterpiece Duet about Penny and Damon Scott. A girl from the trailer park. The son of a criminal king. They’re so deliciously forbidden and dangerous together!
2. NEW readers can absolutely start with The King! It’s set in the same world as the Stripped series AND the Endgame trilogy, but it’s completely this couple’s story.
3. *drumroll* This is actually my first YA novel! I’ve dabbled with younger characters in prequels like Tough Love and Heartbreak, but this is my first full-length piece! I know Damon’s sensual mastery and Penny’s strength will appeal to my adult readers!!
The highest stakes…

Gabriel Miller took everything from me. My family. My innocence. My home. The only thing I have left is the determination to get back what’s mine.
He thinks he’s beaten me. He thinks he’s won. What he doesn’t realize is that every pawn has the chance to become a queen.
And the game has only just begun.
THE KNIGHT is book two in the Endgame series from New York Times bestselling author Skye Warren about revenge and seduction in the game of love.

“The Pawn is one of my top reads of the year! Skye Warren brings you a sensual battle of wills guaranteed to leave you gasping by the end.” – New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy
The price of survival…
Gabriel Miller swept into my life like a storm. He tore down my father with cold retribution, leaving him penniless in a hospital bed. I quit my private all-girl’s college to take care of the only family I have left.
There’s one way to save our house, one thing I have left of value.
My virginity.
A forbidden auction…
Gabriel appears at every turn. He seems to take pleasure in watching me fall. Other times he’s the only kindness in a brutal underworld.
Except he’s playing a deeper game than I know. Every move brings us together, every secret rips us apart. And when the final piece is played, only one of us can be left standing.
This release is a big deal for me – my first new series after ending both the USA Today bestselling Chicago Underground series and Stripped series earlier this year. I hope you’ll join me on this dark + sexy ride!

Another rundown apartment. Another job that pays cash. Every new city it becomes harder to hide but I can’t stop running.
There are two men after me…
One wants to save my soul. The other wants to claim my body.
Part of me wants Luca to catch me, even knowing what he’s capable of. An enforcer. A fighter. The only language he speaks is violence.
How far will he go to find me?
What will he do once he does?
A wild glance over my shoulder. The shadows are moving.

Every single reader who pre-orders The Pawn will get a ✯FREE✯ Shh… I’m reading THE PAWN doorhanger in the mail so you’ll be ready to read! And one lucky reader will win a $125 Gift Card to Amazon to buy even more books <3
THE PAWN comes out on December 6th! Here’s an excerpt…
A sense of familiarity fills the space between us even though I know we haven’t met. This man is a stranger, but he looks at me as if he wants to know me. He looks at me as if he already does. There’s an intensity to his eyes when they sweep over my face, as firm and as telling as a touch.
“I need…” A thud against my ribs as I think about all the things I need—a rewind button. One person in the city who doesn’t hate me by name alone. “I need a loan.”
He gives me a slow perusal, from the nervous slide of my tongue along my lips to the high neckline of my dress. I tried to dress professionally—a black cowl-necked sweater and pencil skirt. His strange amber gaze unbuttons my coat, pulls away the expensive cotton, tears off the cotton fabric of my bra and panties. He sees right through me, and I shiver as a ripple of awareness runs over my skin.
I’ve met a million men in my life. Shaken hands. Smiled. I’ve never felt as seen through as I do right now. Never felt like someone has turned me inside out, every dark secret exposed to the harsh light. He sees my weaknesses, and from the cruel set of his mouth, he likes them.
His lids lower. “And what do you have for collateral?”
Nothing except my word. That wouldn’t be worth anything if he knew my name. I swallow past the lump in my throat. “I don’t know.”
Nothing.
He takes a step forward, and suddenly I’m crowded against the brick wall beside the door, his large body blocking out the warm light from inside. He feels like a furnace in front me, the heat of him in sharp contrast to the cold brick at my back. “What’s your name, girl?”
The word girl is a slap in the face. I force myself not to flinch, but it’s hard. Everything about him overwhelms me—his size, his low voice. “I’ll tell Mr. Scott my name.”
In the shadowed space between us, his smile spreads, white and taunting. The pleasure that lights his strange yellow eyes is almost sensual, as if I caressed him. “You’ll have to get past me.”
My heart thuds. He likes that I’m challenging him, and God, that’s even worse. What if I’ve already failed? I’m free-falling, tumbling, turning over without a single hope to anchor me. Where will I go if he turns me away? What will happen to my father?
“Let me go,” I whisper, but my hope fades fast.
His eyes flash with warning. “Little Avery James, all grown up.”
A small gasp resounds in the space between us. He already knows my name. That means he knows who my father is. He knows what he’s done. Denials rush to my throat, pleas for understanding. The hard set of his eyes, the broad strength of his shoulders tells me I won’t find any mercy here.
“Smart, dark, deeply sensual read with characters I fell in love with from the minute they walked onto the page!” – New York Times bestselling author Carly Phillips
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS? I’m teaming up with some incredible authors to give away SIGNED BOOKS and a Kindle Fire HD!! Holy wow, this is a crazy awesome prize…
After I finished both the Chicago Underground series (with Deep) and the Stripped series (with Hold You Against Me) earlier this year, I wanted to write something fresh + sexy + dangerous – and Anti Hero is the result!! I love this cover and this couple, and I’m thrilled to share Nate with you all!!
And on top of that – Anti Hero is only #99cents for a limited time!
Nate Gaines used to think he was fighting for freedom. Then his team died in a fiery betrayal and he realized corruption went all the way to the top.
He was no hero. Not anymore, not working for the highest bidder. A mercenary.
And the girl he loved? She was better off without him.
Until she became a target. He’d protect her. He would kill for her. He just couldn’t let himself fall for her again. That would be dangerous for both of them.
WARNING: Contains an inked military man, a plucky reporter on a mission, and explosive chemistry!
* * *
ANTI HERO is a full-length standalone novel with plenty of heat and suspense. For a limited time only, includes the scorching military romance ON THE WAY HOME as a free bonus book!
“5 stars isn’t enough!! Anti Hero is a real page turner. Exciting, hot, and gritty!!” ~ Tish, Amazon reviewer
“What a joy ride! I absolutely loved this book! I was riveted, caught in Anti Hero’s web from the very first chapter!” – R Smith, Amazon reviewer
“Skye Warren is my to go author when I want something well written and intense. This book was no exception and it was one of my favorite of hers!” – Lina, Amazon reviewer
IMPORTANT: While all of my releases up until this point have been available at all distributors, Anti Hero is only available at Amazon. You can one-click for 99 cents or read it for free as part of their Kindle Unlimited program. This is something new I’m experimenting with for this single standalone release, and is NOT part of my plan for future books. So if you usually read on iBooks or Kobo or Nook, you can download the Kindle app to read Anti Hero – or you can wait three months until it’s released wide. The indie market is changing so rapidly I wanted to test this out. Thank you so much for understanding!! It will be back to regular programming on the next release.
Thanks to amazing, generous authors and publishers we have over 70 BOOKS on sale this weekend to help fundraise for Samuel Thorne.
Please take the time to read about Samuel and why he needs our help and support. Grab yourself a bargain with these amazing sales, and don’t forget to scroll to the bottom of the post and enter the HUGE giveaway for $300 worth of Amazon gift cards, signed paperbacks + much more.
Samuel was running around with all his friends at his school disco one night and within 48 hours, he was in an induced coma, fully paralysed and on a life support ventilator breathing for him. His entire spinal cord and parts of his brain stem were being attacked by his own immune system brought on by a rare condition known as Transverse Myelitis. The extent of the effect on Samuel has been extreme.
This fit, healthy and loving young boy has seemingly overnight been robbed of so much capacity.
To get Samuel home, over $350 000 has been estimated as the amount of funding needed. This will go to covering costs for home modifications, specialized medical and therapy equipment, wheel chairs and a modified motor vehicle. Samuel will also require staff to monitor him during the day and night for the long term.
Until all basic equipment, home modifications and staffing are in place, Samuel’s family cannot bring him home.
“Dark, perverse, and unbearably erotic, Pretty When You Cry is Skye Warren at her gritty best.”
~ Anna Zaires, USA Today bestselling author of Twist Me
A new dark romance novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Wanderlust…

My conditioning runs too deep. Ivan sees what I am.
That’s the thing about showing a mouse to a cat. He wants to play. And it’s terrifying, even for me. Because the only thing darker than my past is his.
The sexy + thrilling dark romance Pretty When You Cry is only 99 pennies this week!! Candace escapes from a cult. You won’t believe the dangerous man she meets on the outside…
