Pike (The Pawn Duet, Book One): A King Series Spinoff
Born into chaos. Baptized in the gutter.   <br>I was raised by the violent laws of the streets, spilling blood without the hindrance of useless emotions or connections.  <br>Unfeeling. Unloved. Alone. <br> <br>My life was perfect. <br> <br>Until her. <br> <br>While on a manhunt for a mysterious enemy, one hellbent on taking both my business and my life, I find Mickey. She's covered in mud, rambling nonsense, and clearly out of her mind.  <br> <br>She's also a distraction I don't need. <br> <br>That is until I discover a connection between the girl and my enemy.  <br>Mickey isn't a distraction anymore. <br>She's the perfect weapon. <br>One I'll use to exact my revenge.  <br> <br>The plan is an easy one, but there's something about Mickey that's making it more and more difficult.   <br>A familiarity I can't place. A need I can't explain.  <br>A want I have to deny.  <br> <br>After all, she's not mine to keep. She's a tool. My pawn. <br>My sacrifice. <br>
