Strategic Maneuvers by Jemma Westbrook

Pierce has been waiting.
Working hard to lift up a woman who struggled to find her own strength.
A woman he intended to make his when the time was right.
But there can be no more waiting.
Mona is in danger. Threatened by an evil he brought to her doorstep.
Pierce worked hard to separate himself from the corruption and greed that surrounded his childhood, but there are some things you simply can’t escape.
Now he’s caught in a game he never wanted to play. A competition he can’t afford to lose.
Because of a woman he refuses to let go.

Being in Alaska has changed Mona Ayers in more ways than she can count.
It’s made her stronger. More willing to speak her mind.
More willing to take a risk.
But there are some risks she still can’t consider.
Like giving in to the man who’s more dangerous than she initially thought.
Pierce is well-spoken. Well-dressed.
And powerful. The ruler of his domain.
He wants to pull her close. Make her his queen.
But the world he runs is being threatened by a force she can’t pinpoint. Can’t find.
And it might just steal her king before she has the chance to rule him.
