Or can she fight the magnetic force that draws them together? ___ Wren Munro is a powerful businessman. He's arrogant, broody, and hot as hell... And completely unattainable. He prefers his bachelor life, entertaining the company of women only when the mood strikes. Until he sees her. Lyra Hart.

✯Sequel to A beautiful mistake ✯ Can be read as a Stand-alone novel A fun fact about redheads. Did you know they derived their fierce temper from the Scots who are known to be descendants of the Celts who coincidentally were notoriously vicious warriors? For Seth Sandoval Cervantes, Jessica Davis was the same nonetheless. She hated him for reasons unbeknownst to him and quite frankly he hated her too. When Seth's fiance Tessa Urquillo decides to call it quits on their relationship, Seth can only draw one conclusion, Jessica Davis must have poisoned his fiance's mind. A game of pool, a bottle of Jack Daniels and a broken heart is all it takes for Seth to come up with a nasty idea. An idea that ends up saving him and destroying him all the same. --- "Yeah easy indeed. Maybe while we are at it, I'll kidnap her, take her to one of my islands in the Philippines and force her to like me in thirty days", he said sarcastically. "It's actually not a bad idea if you think about it",Lance laughed. "It's not a bad idea at all",Seth repeated which made Lance glance at him with a rather suspicious look. Oh yes, Seth Sandoval Cervantes had made up his mind one that involved kidnapping Jessica Davis and spending a whole month with her until she changed her mind and liked him. "As they say, the way to a woman's heart is by impressing the bestfriend" "No one says that... --- Secrets are revealed, hearts are broken, past and present collides in this fiesty game of love and hate.

Redefined every time someone new uses it, and sometimes in a more vile and lascivious way. Love was never on the table. Completely erased from his vocabulary after his mother died an unforgiving death. However, sometimes the feeling can emerge from even the darkest places in the world. Twisted and depraved. Behind the closed doors of a kidnapper's home. Or from the void that swirls in the chest of someone's missing heart. Even between the forbidden love of an angel and a demon. Love can come in all forms, in all contexts, and can form from even the smallest smidge of scorching hate. There is never light without darkness. There is never yin without yang. There are never days without nights. There is never love without hate. There is never life without death. Even villains and demons can fall in love with heroes and angels. His salvation comes from her, and her destruction comes from him. Like clockwork, they are a match made in the universe; polar opposites, but the attraction is never stronger.Concluida

Part 2 UPDATED WEEKLY for current readers He finally released my legs, allowing me to slide down his body until my feet hit the floor, but that was as far as he let me go. Heat was radiating off him, scorching me all the way down my spine as he held me tightly against him. His quick breaths were falling on the back of my neck with a tingling warmth that brought goosebumps to the surface of my skin. Placing one large hand on my shoulder, he wrapped my long brown hair around his other. Gently, he tugged on my dark mane, pulling my head to the side and exposing the tender column of my neck. Bringing his nose down to the crook there, he inhaled deeply, a rumbling "mmmm" escaping his lips. My mouth went dry. "Are-" I swallowed. "Are you going to mark me?" I manage in a stuttered whisper.
