"I can destroy you." Maven turned her head, putting our lips closer than ever. Looking up from them, a part of me loved the challenging chill the fire in her eyes burnt me with. "But you can't buy me, William Lanvin."

Three years. Two academics. One rivalry.

She's the tempest, he's the calm of the seas. Maven Laurentis, a bright student of the law, had her life written in the stars. Ready to conquer the world and graduate college with flying colors, she was a genius with a cold heart of steel.

Not until war suddenly breaks out between two families, and she's suddenly pulled into a deal with her greatest enemy. Her undefeated opponent. Her impossible match.

The man of a fleeting curse.

William Lanvin thought he'd never see her again, but now that she was here, he's never letting go. He'll have her, whatever it takes

He's the bane of her existence.
She's the elusive woman he'll never catch.

Let the chaos commence.
