For the notorious Lady Winter, seduction and duplicity are required to survive.
Cunning and precision are the tools of pirate Christopher St. John.
Pitted against one another, they are a surprise waiting to happen…

SET A CRIMINAL TO CATCH A CRIMINAL

Christopher St. John and Maria, Lady Winter are infamous in Society for their misdeeds and their charming allures. Wherever they go, scandalized whispers and covetous glances follow. A ruthless pirate and a widow whose two husbands have met untimely deaths, the wickedly renowned figures are even more intriguing to the authorities. Now they’ve been set on the most provocative of tasks–St. John is released from prison to learn the “Wintry Widow’s”Â intimate secrets, while Lady Winter is charged with performing a similar deception in reverse. One will succeed. One will hang.

FROM BALLROOM TO BEDROOM, THEY’RE PERFECTLY MATCHED

With the fate of loved ones in the balance, the unlikely couple embarks upon a battle of wills and wits that takes them from glittering ballrooms to the depths of the underworld to the candlelit pleasures of the bedroom. As they fall helpless to a desire and startling affinity neither expected, the deadly web of their subterfuge closes in, forcing them to make a choice. Individual freedom? Or an audacious scheme to keep an impossible yet irresistible love…

“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.”
- Kathe Robin, Romantic Times BOOKreviews

“PASSION FOR THE GAME absolutely crackles with sexual tension. This whirlwind romance delivers on all expectations of mystery, suspense and steamy passion. I loved all the characters and the roles they played. I highly recommend this book.”
- Tammie, Fresh Fiction

“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

“Scandalous, passionate romance laced with adventure from Sylvia Day has us hooked and breathless for more!”
- Rendezvous Books, Australia

“…a Georgian Era version of the movie The Departed (though the ending is much happier).”
- Blythe, All About Romance

I am looking at this lovely book now - planning on taking it to Lori Foster’s/Dianne Castell’s get-together. I just hope I’ll get a chance to read it!

What a gorgeous cover, btw.

I saw this in my local Borders a few days early - was SOOOO tempted to pick it up, but already had it on order. It shipped today! Yipee! Love Amazon Prime! I’ll have it by Thursday evening

I agree with Stacy - beautiful cover!

Thank you both! I hope you enjoy it.

It’s my favorite out of all my covers. Kensington did a wonderful job with it, but then, they do a wonderful job with everything.

Hugs,
