Reine Laurent's world is thrust back into chaos when Jidé Abernethy, the ghost of her past, returns as a self-made billionaire. Four years ago, her love for him was all-consuming-an intense blaze of passion and obsession that scorched everything in its path. After a tragedy tore them apart, Reine slowly buried those feelings and has now built a seemingly perfect life with Caleb-Jidé's former best friend-a man who offered stability, safety, and an escape from the emotional wreckage.
"It's Monday, 28th August, 2016, and I'll never stop loving you. If tomorrow starts without me, you should know. :) ♥️"
"It's Tuesday, 28th August, 2017, and I'm still waiting to see you... I wonder what you would be wearing today... maybe/hopefully, that green flowers shirt or that white marvel shirt. ✨"
"The worst pain came when I don't know whether to wait or whether to forget. Today, I finally accept that there's no longer an 'us.' Not even in another life; Wonderful sadness, it is.)"
Jidé's reappearance drags Reine back into the dark undertow of desire she thought she had escaped. Despite her engagement to Caleb, his reckless pursuit, shadowed by his dark, cunning ways, reignites the emotions she believed was dead. As Jidé manipulates the world around him to reclaim her, Reine finds herself caught in a toxic triangle.
Poison for the Devil is a twisted tale of toxic-possessive love, desire, lust, betrayal, and the enticing uncertainty of second chances. Reine must face a devastating choice: stay with Caleb, whose devotion provides soft landing but cannot spark the same fire, or surrender once more to the dangerous allure of Jidé, a man who is both her greatest love and her greatest fear.
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
