All three Wicked Game books arrived in 2019, making this one of St. James’s most contained trilogies in terms of release pace. The series title sets up the central metaphor: a game being played between two people who both think they have the advantage, in a world where losing has serious consequences. Wicked Game, Fair Game, and End Game follow that arc from first move to final resolution.
St. James uses the mob romance format here to explore what happens when attraction becomes a liability. The criminal setting raises the stakes beyond the personal – bad decisions don’t just hurt feelings, they put lives at risk. Readers who have worked through her other trilogies will appreciate how the game framing adds a layer of strategy to the romance that keeps both leads feeling active and capable throughout all three books.
