abuse ambition arrogant billionaire christian death happy hate heartbreak hot love manipulation millionaire obsession poor rich rude sad seduction triangle

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?All Rights Reserved

Craving Ava by ritarwrites

Ava Brown, a struggling waitress haunted by her memories was someone who could never go unnoticed, despite how oblivious she was to that very same fact. Easton Maxwell, a well-known billionaire C.E.O. with a thriving company and a troubled past wasn't used to not being noticed, especially from such a distinctively beautiful woman. From the moment he laid eyes on her but went unseen, he was determined to make himself known. She had carved herself onto him without even trying, and the need to have her suppressed everything. Why? He couldn't quite figure that out yet. All he knew, was that his bed had been empty for quite some time, and she was the only one he wanted in it. When she slipped through his fingers, he decided he wouldn't rest until he found her again. Luckily, he did, ninety-three days later. And from that day on, for better or worse, their lives would never be the same.
