Emily Snow’s “His Pawn” is a romance between foes and loves. With five months remaining in her term, Elle Courtney, a college student, finds herself without financial support at the center of the narrative. She meets Graham, a young man who is politically wrong, devilishly attractive, and promises to pay her tuition for a semester of “anything goes.”
Elle accepts his proposal even though she is aware that it could be her worst error. Graham desires to possess Elle, not merely have a sexual relationship with her. The novel expresses topics of love, fear, and willpower.
