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.
