'Whom do I look like? I mean, whom do you take me for? . . . Who is Sylvia?' He was silent for so long she thought he wasn't going to answer. An odd expression came into his face. He turned away as if to hide it, then, looking back over his shoulder, said, 'My sister. But she's dead.' Emily hadn't meant to get tangled up with the likes of Oliver Mallerton and his dead sister. She had only been tailing her artist father to find out why he had been acting so mysterious lately. She certainly never meant to get mixed up in the Sylvia Game, a game that sounded harmless, not like a game that would nearly cause the death of one boy and lead to the banishment of another.

A pirate and a black widow go head-to-head in this Georgian-era romance from the #1 bestselling author of the Crossfire Series. MATCH POINT Infamous for satisfying his limitless wants and desires, Christopher is a free man again. And this time he’s on a mission to engage, deceive and seduce the one woman as ruthless as he is when it comes to dangerous games of passion . . . Far from innocent in the ways of men, Maria is one step ahead of Christopher’s every move. It doesn’t mean she isn’t enjoying every delicious look, every unbridled kiss, every moment of abandon. Neither of them could have imagined the moment when they would meet their match—or that they would surrender to each other again and again . . . Praise for Passion for the Game “Day pulls out all the stops, juggling sizzling romance with high suspense and intrigue. The tangled threads of her plot are intricately woven with strands of in-depth characterization. Not only does Day titillate readers, she grabs them with a strong story and doesn’t let go.” —RT Book Reviews, Top Pick “This historical romantic suspense grips the audience from the opening moment when readers meet the Wintry Widow and never slows down until the final confrontation. Maria and Christopher are terrific protagonists as they struggle between blackmailing demands and love. Sylvia Day writes a superb tale that will have her fans wondering throughout what the lead couple will choose.” —Midwest Book Review

After losing her son and husband, and moving off the family farm into the city, Sylvia fi lls her days with visits to the local library, computer classes, her granddaughter, and retribution. Sylvia watched her own family fall apart, and those of her friends, not to mention the slow disintegration of her beloved hometown, Boganindra, in country New South Wales. Sylvia begins to feel helpless, and hopeless. Until she has a chance meeting with a man in her computer class at the local library. She learns that something can be done. There are ways to stop someone from ruining peoples’ lives. From taking over the “failing” mum-and-dad businesses in small towns and incorporating them into much bigger, modern, mechanised businesses and then making their long serving staff “redundant”. With an uncanny knack of fading into the shadows, and being very “unmemorable”, Sylvia not only fi nds it almost impossible to get any kind of service in a coffee shop, but she fi nds that when she really needs to “disappear in a crowd” she has no trouble.
