Pike (The Pawn Duet, Book One): A King Series Spinoff Kindle Edition
I was raised by the violent laws of the streets, spilling blood without the hindrance of useless emotions or connections.
Unfeeling. Unloved. Alone.
My life was perfect.
Until her.
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.
She's also a distraction I don't need.
That is until I discover a connection between the girl and my enemy.
Mickey isn't a distraction anymore.
She's the perfect weapon.
One I'll use to exact my revenge.
The plan is an easy one, but there's something about Mickey that's making it more and more difficult.
A familiarity I can't place. A need I can't explain.
A want I have to deny.
After all, she's not mine to keep. She's a tool. My pawn.
My sacrifice.

About the author

T.M. Frazier lives in sunny Southwest Florida with her husband and daughter. She dreamed of being a writer since the day she learned how to read. After spending many years working in real estate she decided could no longer ignore that dream.
She published her first book, The Dark Light of Day, in 2013 and has since become a USA Today bestselling author several times over. Her books have been translated into numerous languages and published all around the world.
T.M. enjoys writing what she calls ‘wrong side of the tracks romance’ with morally corrupt anti-heroes and ballsy heroines.
Her books have been described as raw, dark and gritty. Basically, what that means, is while some authors are great at describing a flower as it blooms, T.M. is better at describing it in the final stages of decay.
She loves meeting her readers, but if you see her at an event please don’t pinch her because she's not ready to wake up from this amazing dream.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2020So, I’m going to preface this by saying this is my first book my T.M (runs and hides). I know, I know, where have I been right, and I can categorically say I have no freaking idea. T.M just came through and bashed me over the head with her writing, there’s no going back at this point, I’m officially an addict!
𝐿𝑜𝑔𝑎𝑛’𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑎𝑐ℎ. 𝐼𝑡’𝑠 𝑎 𝑡𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑚𝑎𝑑𝑒 𝑢𝑝 𝑜𝑓 𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑠 𝑠𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑠𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑠. 𝐵𝑒𝑎𝑐ℎ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑑. 𝑆𝑎𝑙𝑡𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑠. 𝐶𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑜𝑠.
Since this is my first trip to Logan’s beach, I’m just going to throw this out there, if all the men there are like Pike than sign me the F up. From the very first page of this book I was completely enthralled with this man. He is Alpha dangerous with a deliciously decadent side of sexy and I am here for it all. Pike is best friends with Nine, they’ve known each other for years and I loved watching their dynamic, I may not know anything other than Pike at this point, but you can feel the camaraderie between them and the unwavering loyalty. Pike is this amalgam of so many different things, he is layered with such complexity and executed with such precision, that you fall for every aspect of him. And the duality of what he knows he needs to do and what he ultimately wants to do regarding Mickey shows his inner battle and opens your eyes to another part of this man.

Mickey is unlike any character that I’ve read, this woman is wicked smart, when she first meet’s Pike she’s young and hurt just trying to figure out what’s going on. But when they come together later, she is an entirely different woman. She is strong and determine and single minded to the point of detriment to herself. She has goals in place that she won’t let anyone detract from not even Pike. But the connection between them is strong and it’s instantaneous. You can feel them both trying to fight what it is every step of the way. But the tension is fierce and tangible, you can feel it bleed from the pages like a bullet wound covering you in the intensity of it. And when that tension finally erupts its pure melt your freaking Kindle HOT!!!
“𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑑𝑜 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤?” 𝐺𝑢𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑎𝑠𝑘𝑠. 𝐼 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝐼 𝑑𝑜𝑛’𝑡 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑡 𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛 𝑒𝑥𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡 𝑡𝑤𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠. 𝐼 𝑛𝑒𝑒𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦 𝑠ℎ𝑒 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤𝑠, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐼 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑓*** ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛 𝐼 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡ℎ𝑒.
T.M has interlaced this tension filled story with hilarious bouts of much needed humor. With this one-story she has created a lifelong fanatic of her work and I can’t wait to go back and read all the stories I’ve missed out on. Her words will wrap themselves around your heart and squeeze slowly and meticulously as you go through the pages, just waiting to see where her brilliant mind will take you next, leaving you fully on the edge of your seat. Pike and Mickey are absolute perfection together and the dynamics of them individually interlace brilliantly with them together making for a captivating story-line.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2020Quote: Orgasms and endings are my thing.
T.M. Fraizer is a master a putting together books that hold you on the edge of your seat and make you crave the dark, gritty, and depraved romances she pens! Ever since I read King, I have been hooked to the skill and sharpness that go hand in hand with her stories. Pike is the first book in her newest King series dark romance; it’s also the first book of her The Pawn Duet.
Quote: Pike and I aren’t at war. We never were. We are what’s left over after the battle’s already been lost on both sides. We’re not soldiers. We’re carnage.
First things first, you can read Pike and the conclusion to The Pawn Duet, Pawn, without previously reading books in the King Series. However, I’m the type of reader that reads series books in order, and I always find that it enriches a story. If you’re like me, the series reading order is:
1. King
2. Tyrant
3. Lawless
4. Soulless
5. Preppy Part 1
6. Preppy Part 2
7. Preppy Part 3
8. Up In Smoke
9. N9ne
10. Pike
11.Pawn (coming soon)
These books are not for the faint, and if you like antihero’s alphas—with a strong alphahole/dominant predisposition—then you have found the right books. I personally can’t get enough of them and try at every turn to get my hands on them! (If you’re looking for sweet and realistic, first world problem romances, you should definitely keep searching! 😉) Pike meets all the aforementioned characteristics and I lapped it up like a cat with cream…!! 😎 Pike has a kick@$$ heroine for a counterpart. Mickey is feisty and unapologetically getting her revenge…much like Pike!
Quote: When it comes to this girl, my instincts are at war. One tells me to punish. The other to protect. Only one can win.
The story flows perfectly and it takes place at a fast pace and you will be ready to throw your kindle by the time you reach the cliffhanger….and oh yes, prepare your hearts for that from the get-go because it will take you a while to breathe again!!! I’m relatively sure that until Pawn is in my hot little hands that’s more than I’m capable of. Also, like all of its predecessors, Pike is unpredictable. Every time I turned a page, I thought the floor was falling out from beneath me, but I couldn’t have put it down to save my life. I don’t have anything negative to shed light on with Pike, and I am chomping at the bit to get my hands on the story’s conclusion. In the meantime, I highly, highly recommend you get your hands on any one of the books in the series if you haven’t started the King Series. Binge read right up until you’re ready for the release of Pawn!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2025The Pawn duet book 1. A King series spinoff. So I liked this book way more than I thought I would. But it should be no surprise cause this author is everything. No spoilers from me. But it is a must read. It gives you all the feels with action for days. Lovedcseeing characters from the King series. Onto book 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars Memories good and bad
What a book. Roller coaster novel from the beginning. Great to get cameo’s of Preppy and glimpses of the formidable King, and the on going Nine’s character. Pike is also one mean guy with a past. He has few friends, but appears to have one really revolting enemy. Initially he encounters Mickey 4 years earlier, and then he is forcibly introduced to her again. She appears an enemy. The chemistry between these two are contagious, however initially their contact is torturous. This is one dark storyline, that is compulsive reading. An excellent novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soo good
I love Pike & Mickey. She is soo likeable. Her story is sooo sad.
I love when you get to see the other characters like Preppy, King, Bear, Rage, Jake.
On to read the second book Pawn.
- DarkandEroticreads4meReviewed in Australia on October 12, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!
This book got my reading groove back and I can't wait to read Pt2!
Pike and Pawn are both strong and very likeable characters that fit into the whole "Logans Beach" misfits gang well.
Pike is the best friend of Nine. Growing up together in the "system" they have each others backs, especially when Pikes business is targeted for reasons still unknown... maybe a little birdie from a previous life has something to do with it?
I cant wait to read PAWN, these two are sizzling and with a storyline ending with a HF moment, this story is only going to get better!

4.0 out of 5 stars Highly addictive
We’re not enemies. We’re victims of circumstance, caught up in what we think we should be doing while consumed by what we want to be doing to each other.
