Before we get into this, if you haven’t already… be sure to grab my free “too hot for Amazon” novella here.
Onward…
“Thought-provoking, gritty, and darkly sensual, The Game Maker seduces with hope and tenderness and shocks with twists you won’t see coming. This is Kitty Thomas at her best!”, Charmaine Pauls, USA Today Bestselling author
The Game Maker is Kitty Thomas at her dark, twisty, mind-f*cking best!”, Anna Zaires, NYT Bestselling author of TWIST ME
THE GAME MAKER is NOW AVAILABLE. This one is a standalone contemporary dark romance that isn’t linked to any other world so there is no other book to read before reading this one, so if you’re new to me… this is a great place to start! (I’ve also got a GIVEAWAY: 5 signed books (surprises from my backlist!), and a $100 Amazon gift card)
THE GAME MAKER BLURB:
I was too isolated. I was about to be evicted. I made a final desperate call to the man who ruined my life, but he didn’t come for me.
Someone else did.
And then there was Seven. When I first woke in the cell, I thought he was my captor, but he is a pawn, like me.
Seven is beautiful and kind. I want him so much I can barely breathe. He wants to protect me from our captor, but he can’t.
We are both locked inside a game neither of us can ever hope to win, and even though it’s wrong, I’m starting to want both men, not just the good one… the monster as well.
Standalone contemporary dark romance.

TEASER SCENE:
“Hey,” he says.
“Hey. What do we do now?”
We both know what we’re supposed to do now, but of course we aren’t going to do that. I’m not sure what he’ll do if he gets hungry enough. I move back to the place across the room and gingerly sit back down.
“We wait,” he says.
“How long have you been here?”
“A couple of days. I’ve already looked for escape options. There are none.” He points up at the ceiling. “In the corners, do you see those shiny black things?”
I squint. I hadn’t noticed them before. “Yes.”
“Cameras,” he says. “There aren’t any in the bathroom, though. Though there are probably listening devices in there.”
I allow this piece of information to settle in my brain.
“W-when was the last time you ate?”
He winces at this. “Don’t worry. I ate half an hour before he brought you in.”
“Have you used the shower or the tub?”
“The shower.”
“So he’s not going to come in here and hurt us if I…”
The man shakes his head. “He won’t come in until I eat. He drugs the food. So if you want to take a bath or a shower, you’ll be safe.”
“You won’t come in?”
He shakes his head. “I promise.”
“Do you think he’ll starve us if we don’t do what he says?”
He sighs. “Yes.”
I look away. I don’t know what to say to this. It’s not as though it would be any great tragedy to sleep with this beautiful man, but I don’t think I can do it with someone else watching. I might feel differently about this when I get hungry enough.

When you post here, you’re talking to me. I don’t have anybody else managing my accounts. 🙂 Start with The Game Maker. All my books are standalones except for one series of standalones but this isnt’ even a series of standalones. It’s a standalone full stop. Trust me. If you don’t love this book, my work isn’t for you. And if you do love this book, I’ve hooked you for life.
