The Stories:
A Game of Love and Hate: Before the heist, before the queen's mission, there was just Scarlett and Quinn—two deadly women determined to destroy each other's business. Watch as stolen contracts turn into stolen kisses, professional rivalry becomes personal obsession, and hate transforms into something far more dangerous. From their first meeting to the moment that changes everything, this is where it all began.
A Game of Proposals and Parties: After the events of Book 1, join Scarlett and Quinn for an extra steamy epilogue that answers the question every reader wanted to know: how exactly does an assassin propose to a poisoner? Spoiler: it involves handcuffs, creative negotiations, and enough heat to melt steel.

Everything from Ruby Roe just blows my mind and this did not disappoint.
Words can't describe how much I love these books! Ruby could write an instruction manual and I would read it. Read for the plots and stay for the smut!!
I’m so happy to have a physical copy of the prequel and extra chapter to put next to the rest of the series, its well worth the read
It’s fantastic
Love all Ruby Roe books!
