For Maeve Gray, life is meant to be lived without regrets. A 20-year-old computer science student with an affinity for hacking, dark romance novels, and making her own rules, Maeve values her independence and freedom from societal expectations. She's as organized as she is unpredictable-until Ariston Knightly, a face from her past, returns with a chilling promise: "I will destroy you."
Ariston, a 24-year-old with dark eyes and an even darker reputation, is as powerful as he is relentless. Born into wealth and ruthlessness, he's a brilliant lawyer in the mafia world, and his loyalty to family runs deeper than blood. Maeve's words , in their fourth encounter, have only fueled his hatred. Now, Ariston is on a mission to make her regret every single one.
In a high-stakes game of sabotage, Maeve and Ariston find themselves pushing each other to the limit, both unaware of how deeply intertwined their fates have become. Will Maeve outwit Ariston's calculated vengeance, or will Ariston's obsession with strength and power bring Maeve's carefully guarded world crashing down?
Enemies by choice, bound by circumstances, their clash will either destroy them-or ignite a fire neither expected.
When no one was there, you were there for me. When nobody cared, you still cared for me. When everyone left you were here with me, and now I hope that you're hearing me...
Thank you.
