The Queens: Queen's Move

Hi, my name is Nikita Slater and I'm the International Bestselling author of The Queens series, Fire & Vice series, The Sanctuary series, Driven Hearts series and several standalone novels. I've loved the written word my entire life and am an avid reader, as well as a writer. I live, eat and breathe books and I'm always working on something new! ​ I live on the beautiful Canadian prairies with my son and crazy awesome dog. I have an unholy affinity for books (especially dark romance), wine, pets and anything chocolate. Despite some of the darker themes in my books (which are pure fun and fantasy), I am a staunch feminist and advocate of equal rights for all races, genders and non-gender specific persons. When I'm not writing, dreaming about writing or talking about writing, I love to help others discover a love of reading and writing through literacy and social work.

Chapter 22

"This isn't Miami," Vee observed, watching from the window as Sotza's private jet prepared to land. She felt the gentle thump of the wheels lowering.

"You are correct," Sotza said from beside her, not looking up from his laptop. He'd been on it since shortly after their take-off from St. John's. He'd seated her, ensured her comfort and introduced her to the flight attendant. Though he didn't bother to introduce her to the five or six guys sitting further back on the plane. They in turn didn't look up when Vee was escorted onto the aircraft.

Vee eyed the mountainous rainforest-like land surrounding the small airport. "Pretty sure this isn't Venezuela either. We haven't been in the air long enough."

Sotza closed his laptop and tucked it away into the leather laptop bag. He leaned into her, forcing her to shift away, closer to the window. He glanced past her, out the window and said, "Your knowledge of geography is exemplary, my dear."
