Beloved number one internationally bestselling author
Sidney Sheldon introduced the glamorous, scheming
Blackwell family and its unforgettable matriarch, Kate
Blackwell, in his worldwide bestseller Master of the
Game. Now a generation has passed, and as the world
has changed, so too has America's own royal family.
Yet
the intervening years have not lessened the Blackwells'
drama or talent for manipulation, domination, and passion.
Though Kate is long gone, the children of her beloved
granddaughters, Eve and Alexandra, battle to carry on her
powerful legacy. Each is determined to control Kruger-
Brent, Ltd., the multibillion-dollar international
corporation with holdings in diverse industries around the
globe. But only one can reign supreme. . . .
Lexi
Templeton is a ruthless competitor with the brains and
beauty to match. Raised by her psychiatrist father, Lexi
burns to follow in her great-grandmother's footsteps and
become her own Mistress of the Game.
She is not alone
in her ambitions. Her handsome and nefarious cousin, Max
Webster, the son of Eve, will stop at nothing to own the
prize of Kruger-Brent. Driven by hatred, jealousy, and
blinding devotion to his bitter and twisted mother, he
will seduce, betray, and even kill to succeed.
And
there is another player with plans of his own: a little-
known descendant of Kate's great-grandfather. Growing up
in poverty in Aberdeen, Scotland, handsome and cunning
Gabriel McGregor is determined to fulfill his destiny . .
a quest that will lead him deep into the heart of the
Kruger-Brent empire.
In a family rife with secrets—
murder, hidden identities, perversions—and a depraved
sense of honor, the player who wins the game may be the
only one who will survive.
Full of the late master's
trademark elements—remarkable characters, dazzling
plotting, and a page-turning narrative style—this sizzling
sequel vividly captures the master's voice and
irresistible magic. Vintage Sheldon, Mistress of the
Game will enthrall loyal fans and introduce his
enduring brand to legions more.
