From a young age, Ava knew one thing: being pretty meant power, and power meant freedom. Raised in the shadow of her mother's tragic life-a life defined by mediocrity, poverty, and a mysterious boating accident-Ava vowed she would escape the same fate. Being unattractive was not an option; neither was being poor. She was tired of living small and vowed to claw her way to the top, using whatever tools she had: wit, ambition, and relationships.

Navigating a world where beauty opens doors, Ava learns to sharpen her edges, turning herself into the woman men desire but never see coming. But as she rises higher, the stakes become deadlier. When you play with hearts and fortune, sometimes the only thing left to lose is yourself.

Will Ava's hunger for the good life bring her everything she's ever wanted, or will it destroy her before she reaches the top?

"Come back, Ava. Why did you leave me?" He said looking deep into my eyes. "After what you did, no one can come back to you!" I shook my arm forcefully, freeing myself off of his hold. I kept standing there facing him. I once again looked straight in his dark eyes and hissed, "You are a piece of shit and nothing else." He held my both forearms as tightly as he could, making me wince with the pain he was inflicting on me. He came near me, so near that I could feel the heat radiating from his body, making my surrounding warm and fearful. He leaned down to meet my face and said with a smirk on his face, "This piece of shit is your husband and you know that."
