it's a self-published or indie serial, which means it doesn't have a big publisher putting it on the usual storefronts like Amazon Kindle or Kobo. Those sites are often the first stop, but they came up empty for me.
My breakthrough was stumbling onto the author's own website or a personal blog. A lot of writers in that space host their work directly there, either posting chapters as blog entries or linking to a PDF download. Sometimes they use platforms like Patreon or Ko-fi for early access, with public chapters releasing later on their main site. I'd recommend searching the exact title along with the author's name if you know it; that usually leads you right to the source.
Another angle is checking out serialized fiction hubs. Sites like Wattpad or RoyalRoad are packed with ongoing stories, and while I didn't find 'trophy ii' there immediately, it's worth a browse—sometimes titles get slightly altered. The digital landscape for these niche stories is pretty fragmented, so it's a bit of a detective game. I finally got my hands on it through a direct link from a forum discussion, which felt like finding a secret passage.
Good luck tracking it down. I remember the search being half the frustration and half the weird fun of it.

They were fated mates. When they met, it should have been happily ever after.
But it wasn’t.
For her, he was her previously unattainable celebrity crush. Someone she wanted to impress and be worthy of… even if it meant sacrificing parts of who she was.
For him, she was his second mate. Someone he had never noticed before, but someone he definitely noticed now. He wanted to get things right with her, and he was eager to start their lives together.
Unfortunately, all of their plans are forced to change when his first mate makes an unexpected re-entry into his life. She is forced to become his secret second, and they are both forced to deal with baggage they didn’t even realize that they carry.
Then he hurts her in ways that she never saw coming.
The end for this couple is inevitable. The real question is this: after life tears them apart, will it bring them back together, or will it push them into the arms of others?

Okay, so 'Trophy II' is definitely a conversation starter among thriller readers. I wouldn't call it a traditional thriller, honestly. The first book, 'Trophy', was this super tense, tight narrative about a competitive shooter getting dragged into a conspiracy. 'Trophy II' pivots hard into a psychological exploration of the aftermath. You spend a huge chunk of the book inside the protagonist's head as she grapples with trauma and the moral fallout of her actions. The paranoia is still there, but it's quieter, more internal. If you're looking for non-stop action and a clear-cut villain, you'll be frustrated. It’s slower, deliberate, almost a character study dressed in thriller clothing.
I think it's worth it, but with major caveats. The author's prose is sharper than ever, and the way they dismantle the 'badass survivor' trope is genuinely brilliant. You see the cracks in the armor, the compulsive behaviors, the inability to trust. The central mystery unfolds more through documents and fragmented memories than through chases. Some plot threads from the first book get resolved in deeply unsettling ways that reframe the entire series. It’s a sequel that refuses to just give you more of the same. For thriller fans who appreciate depth over pace, it's a rewarding, if challenging, read. I found myself thinking about it for days after, which is more than I can say for most pure plot-driven thrillers.
That said, the ending is deliberately ambiguous and leaves a lot of threads hanging, presumably for a third book. Some people in my book club hated that, feeling it wasn't a satisfying payoff for the slower build. I didn't mind as much because the journey felt substantial on its own. So yeah, worth it if you're okay with a thriller that prioritizes psychological depth over constant adrenaline.
