ARCHER: Tainted (Aristocrat #3)
33 parts Complete MatureIn the cutthroat world of Salvado's elite, ambition is a double-edged sword, and Archer Di Santis wields it with lethal precision. With a reputation for being cold and calculating, she has spent her life maneuvering through a world where loyalty is fleeting and betrayal is commonplace. Yet, her relentless pursuit is always thwarted by one formidable opponent: her younger sister, Carlisle. With her effortless charm and expansive network, Carlisle remains the favored child, leaving Archer seething with resentment.
Everything changes when Greyson enters the picture. A close friend of Carlisle's and hailing from one of Salvado's most influential families, Greyson exudes a carefree spirit that starkly contrasts Archer's hardened demeanor. Initially, Archer sees Greyson as an intriguing distraction-someone who could be molded into a powerful ally. But as their paths intertwine, Archer finds herself unexpectedly drawn to Greyson's innocence and joy.
Caught between her ambition and her burgeoning feelings for Greyson, Archer faces a dilemma. Aligning with Greyson could finally grant her the power she craves, providing the leverage needed to surpass Carlisle. But the cost of such a union could be far greater than Archer anticipates.
In a world tainted by ambition and deception, Archer must confront the true nature of her desires. Will she risk everything to embrace a genuine connection with Greyson, or will her insatiable thirst for power lead her down a path of betrayal, jeopardizing the one person who could offer her a chance at true happiness? As tensions rise and loyalties are tested, Archer must decide if she can balance love and ambition without losing herself in the process.
