Echo wasn't like her sisters. She knew that when people talked about the famous and fabulous Reid sisters, they weren't referring to her. Quiet, homely, plain and riddled with social anxiety that made it hard for her to leave the house, she could never have known what was about to happen, she never dreamed she'd live such an adventure. Luke Farina was the most dangerous man around- spoiled, selfish, extremely conceited- he didn't take no for an answer and always got what he wanted. He just never expected that the strange and ridiculous little Echo would be the one to say no and somehow become the one he had to have most. -- NOTE: Hi everyone!

Once, she was the sunshine of her home. Now, she is the shadow the world fears. Meera Malhotra - twenty-three, billionaire, untouchable, and colder than the ice in her veins. To the world, Nemesis Empire is a faceless phantom. To those who dare whisper in the dark, it is perfection, discipline, and death. What no one knows... is that Nemesis has a Queen. Sharp-eyed, ruthless, and wrapped in secrets, Meera walks with venom at her wrist and claws at her feet. Serviper, her venomous python, hisses only for her. Phoenix, her black panther, kills at her command. And she? She rules an empire built on silence and fear. But every empire has cracks. And when fate drags her back to the country she once swore she'd never call home again, the ghosts of her past are waiting. Brothers who betrayed her. A family that abandoned her. Enemies who never saw her coming. India thinks it knows its kings. But the real storm is a Queen. This is not a love story. This is a story of power, betrayal, and a woman who returned not to beg for acceptance- but to conquer. She was broken once. Never again.

"I'd give it all up for you, Avery," Finn urges. His hands are gripping onto my cheeks and I don't know why I'm letting him get so close to me when I told myself I wouldn't let this happen. All I know is that I could cry at his touch. I miss him so much. "The job, the team, everything," he continues. I swallow the lump in my throat as my eyes dart between his. He seems so desperate and I want to sock myself in the jaw when I'm tempted to wipe the single tear that fell to his cheek. "Because I've seen what it's like to live without you. I know what it's like to see you with someone else, and nothing is worth that. Not even the NHL." The sequel to Ice.
