Edencroft’s renovated boathouse, central to a new business venture, bursts into flames. Charles now realises just how far his rival Robert, the renowned entrepreneur, garment manufacturer and seducer of women, is prepared to go in his sadistic game of winner takes all.
Charlie’s womenfolk — wife, daughter and niece — are already under Robert’s erotic spell. Are the schemes of a dangerous antagonist more powerful than integrity and patience?
Compelling reading:
Checkmate is a tour de force of the strengths and weaknesses between members of two powerful families. It is the English Lake District’s own Dallas only with more three-dimensional characters.
As a romance novel, you’ll need asbestos gloves to read these fiery pages. It is far more than eroticism: it is a perceptive and insightful exploration of a family’s relationships, lusts and passions. In amongst the wily machinations there is also humour.

Professional Reviews

Gladys Hobson draws on her years of writing and reading to create this absorbing novel. Set in the English Lake District it chases after naughty and dastardly goings on within and on the periphery of a traditional family. Heat, conflict, competition and envy drive the characters and plot to a thoroughly satisfying conclusion.

Excerpt

June felt Rob’s hand moving up her thigh.
‘No more?’ he asked her mockingly.
She could not stop her body trembling in anticipation of what
she knew was about to happen. Oh, why be here alone with a man who
bewitched her, knowing the impossibility of resisting his advances?
Her mind swiftly returned to early that morning: standing with
Adam and Eva as they waved their daddy off to work, and then turning
back inside the house that felt so empty without Charlie. It must have
been less than two hours later that he rang to say he would be late home.
She hadn’t been alone with Rob since that dreadful night she had
broken off her engagement to him. The night when — no, don’t think
about it, never think about it.
And now Rob was again working his magic, with her utterly
powerless to stop him. She wanted him — no, needed him. It was going on
and on, her body on fire with erotic sensations. Oh… the agony of trying
to resist such unspeakable ecstasy.
Then don’t resist. Give in, give in. Yes, yes, oh yes …
Her mind became lost in a whirl of hedonistic delight….
