The Bishop

A Tanglewood Novella (1001 Dark Nights)

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Skye Warren comes the next installment in her Tanglewood series.

A million dollar chess piece goes missing hours before the auction.

Anders Sorenson will do anything to get it back. His family name and fortune rests on finding two inches of medieval ivory. Instead he finds an injured woman with terrible secrets.

He isn’t letting her go until she helps him find the piece. But there’s more at stake in this strategic game of lust and danger. When she confesses everything, he might lose more than his future. He might lose his heart.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new listeners, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Moody and sexy

Sooo moody and broody and sexy. Teddy’s voice is a tad soft for the character.

Content notes: off-page assault and abuse

Bedridden girl doesn’t exactly sell the chemistry

Two thirds of this novella has Natalie as a virtual invalid, so weak she can’t even bathe on her own.
Also, as with many of this author’s FMCs, she’s a poverty stricken waif with multiple tragic backstories. Finally, the vague feeling that he’s a grown man lusting after a child killed any chemistry for me.
