A Game of Hearts and Diamonds

Power. Betrayal. Revenge. And the price of survival.

Katherine was raised to be perfect-the poised heiress, the future ruler of an empire, the woman who would carry her family's legacy into the next century. But perfection is a cage. And when she is forced to the altar for an arranged marriage meant to seal her fate, she shatters every expectation with a single, ruthless act of defiance.

Leaving behind the world of couture and corporate battles, Katherine disappears into academia, determined to carve out a future on her own terms. But power-true power-never lets go so easily. In the sterile halls of Harvard Medical School, where ambition is currency and genius is a weapon, Katherine learns that her past is not so easily outrun.

A brutal betrayal. A devastating loss. A crime buried beneath layers of wealth and silence. Katherine is no stranger to playing the perfect daughter, the perfect student, the perfect heir-but this time, she will become something else entirely.

Because when everything is taken from her, there is only one thing left to do. Take it all back.

Revenge is coming. And Katherine Hartwright is about to prove that the most dangerous players aren't the ones born to power-they're the ones who have nothing left to lose.
