Alec never expected his first assignment as a Collector for Solitaire to test more than just his strength.

Standing nearly seven feet tall and armed with martial arts training, Alec is used to his size and presence doing most of the work. But when he’s sent to collect a debt from a frail woman named Terry, he quickly realizes this isn’t the straightforward job he anticipated.

The scene is set for conflict, with Alec prepared to use calculated force—until an unexpected challenger steps forward: Terry’s uncle, a fast and skilled defender willing to fight for her. Their tense standoff escalates when a thrown knife turns the tables, leaving Alec questioning not only the ethics of his new role but also the hidden depths of Solitaire’s operations.

With his first job ending in chaos but somehow deemed a success, Alec learns that in Solitaire, winning isn’t always about strength—it’s about navigating the murky waters of loyalty, morality, and the unexpected twists of fate. As Alec earns his card as the Two of Spades, he finds himself drawn further into a world where nothing is as simple as it seems.

Fast-paced, action-packed, and layered with moral dilemmas, The Two of Spades is a gripping addition to the Solitaire Series that fans won’t want to miss.
