Lacey Silks continues her Silver Securities series with Silver’s Pawn. This edition features Tristan and Allie. Allie has a goal: to avenge her mother by killing Wright. At the tender age of 10, Dave Wright rapes Allie's pregnant mother while Allie is hiding under the stairs. The rape caused Peg to miscarry. Now, at 25, she is a police officer and lives with her best friend, Laura. Laura is a single mother and refuses to tell the baby’s father and her family about Fox. During a meeting at work, Tristan Silver appears, and Allie recognizes him from an encounter earlier in the week when she found a group of people in the basement of a burned-down club. Tristan has been searching for Kendra since she was abducted. Silver Securities is hiring.

Tristan insists on Allie working at Silver Securities. He knows she will make a perfect candidate for retrieving Kendra from a human trafficking ring that Hartley has been operating. However, an ulterior motive exists for Allie. Tristan and Allie find themselves attracted to each other and unable to deny that they want to have a relationship. Tristan takes Allie into the mountains and shows her the house that Wright lives in. He asks her to help get Kendra free, and he will take down Wright. As an assurance, he moves Peg to his parent's home for safekeeping.

Allie and her mother were always paranoid because Wright’s delusional fantasy made him a stalker. They kept moving, and he would find them. As a sheriff in their small town prior to the rape, hiding was almost impossible. And reporting the rape wouldn’t have helped because he was the law. Tristan’s connection to Hartley was tragic, as his deceased fiance was Hartley’s daughter, Simone. I found Tristan’s devotion borderline smothering. However, Allie was quite capable of holding her own. Again, the unpredictable direction the story takes held me captive. I am definitely continuing this series.

Omg this book gives you everything and more.
The chemistry between Tristan and Allie when they first meet is off the charts so when he asks her to work for him will she accept for the right reasons.
He needs her help to infiltrate a sex trafficking ring but she also needs his help finding the man she wants to see get justice.
I loved how they were together but what happens when things don't go as planned.
Will she survive and you will hate the cliffhanger at the end.
I need the next book now.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
challenging tense fast-paced
