Survival of the Richest, an all-new emotional and romantic standalone from New York Times bestselling author Skye Warren, is available NOW!
An heiress without a cause.
Two billionaires determined to claim her.
And a war fought on the most dangerous battlefield–the heart.
My story starts with a plunge into the cold water of Manhattan’s harbor.
A strong hand hauls me back onto the deck of the luxury yacht. Christopher was supposed to be my enemy. Instead he protects me with fierce determination.
That should have been my happily ever after, but then Sutton appeared–ruthless and seductive. He doesn’t care that my heart belongs to someone else, because he’s determined to win. No matter the cost.
It’s an impossible choice, but I can’t have them both.
I was not anticipating a lot of things in this book. I was not anticipating a cliff hanger. I was not anticipating actually disliking Christopher 
and then falling for him again. And I certainly was not anticipating Sutton. What I did anticipate, however, was a book that I wouldn’t be able to put down.
Skye Warren did it again with a story that pulled me in with softly spoken words of love and debauchery; where money and favors communicate a language all their own and power and success are part of a game to be won. The town of Tanglewood became a character itself, corrupting everything that entered into its borders, and just like the people that came before them, I should l have known that Christopher and Harper did not stand a chance of having an easy time resolving their feelings for one another. Not when there were more players in the game seeking to win the prize.
I loved the tease of the relationship we saw between Harper and her stepbrother in prior stories, and I could not wait to read their own romance. But it was nothing like I expected. Harper was so much more of a wild child than I anticipated, yet at the same time had an innocence about her that I didn’t see before. She was perfectly matched to Christopher until circumstances pitted them against one another. By the time we meet up with them again, and by the time they start to realize that the anger and animosity may truly be masking other deeper emotions, Sutton, Christopher’s business partner enters the picture.
Sutton is Christopher’s opposite in almost everything. Where Christopher is refined, Sutton is bold. Where Christopher is proper, Sutton is a force of nature. These opposites were what drew Harper, and I moved from rooting for one man to rooting for the other, and in the end, I’m still not sure what to think. I’m not sure what emotions were true and who is being played.
The love triangle between Harper, Christopher and Sutton was also unique. It was not one I have come across before, and it kept changing my perception of the two men that sought to win Harper in the end, each apparently for their own reasons.
Survival of the Richest is truly a tantalizing tale of these fascinating people in Tanglewood, and I wait with anticipation to see what will happen in the end.

Excerpt:
My body heats at the words, at the remembered pleasure of Sutton’s mouth on my sex. Christopher looks down at me, as if he can feel the heat emanating from between my legs. His expression turns stark, as if he’s in pain. That’s only fair, because I’m in pain too.
“You deserve better than that,” Christopher says, but there’s no way to pretend he’s talking about Sutton. He’s talking about himself and we both know it.
“He gives me what I want, which is something you might try next time you like a girl.”
“It wasn’t that,” he says, harsh again.
“No?” I step forward and place a hand on his chest, feeling the way his heart beats strong and fast. He may want to be unaffected by me, but he isn’t. I tilt my face up toward him.“You didn’t imagine me naked in the cabin later?”
He sucks in a breath.“You were too young then.”
My words come out as a whisper.“What about now? Will you do what Sutton said—imagine me in this dress when you go home after this?”
“It’s not fucking decent,” he says, even though the silk covers every part of me. It’s a perfectly respectable dress, when it’s not hitched up around my waist.
“You can thank Sutton for this,” I say, because it’s true. He’s the only reason I lean forward and place my lips against Christopher’s, touching them in some terrible attempt to show him what he gave up, to prove to myself that I don’t care about either of them.
Christopher sucks in a breath. For a second I think he’s going to pull away. He stiffens and grasps my hair with his fist. Easy enough for him to stop the kiss. Instead he dips my head back and deepens it, exploring my mouth with his teeth, his tongue. Opening me wider until I whimper. Pulling me close until I can feel how hard he is beneath his slacks.
His other hand fists in the gauze of my dress, and I realize he’s holding me with both hands clenched—one in my hair and one in my clothes. I don’t know whether he’s doing it so he doesn’t have to touch me or because it’s a way to control me without bruising me. He uses both hands to tug me closer; I’m pressed so tightly I can’t imagine getting away.
Where Sutton had been raw sensuality and playfulness, Christopher is pure determination. He kisses me like he’s a conquering army, like I’m made of gold he has to grasp—or lose forever.
