When Ava's perfect world crumbles in a single devastating moment-catching her husband and sister in an unforgivable betrayal-she's left not just heartbroken, but utterly abandoned by the very family she once called her own. Left to pick up the pieces alone, she learns the brutal truth: sometimes the people closest to you will throw you to the wolves and expect you to apologize for getting bitten.

But Ava doesn't stay broken for long.

In the aftermath of betrayal, she makes a decision-not to chase apologies or seek revenge, but to rebuild a life where she is no one's afterthought. From the ashes of her old identity, Ava rises. She launches a successful business, finds love again in the arms of a man who sees her worth, and creates a family built on respect and reciprocity-not obligation.

Years later, when karma finally arrives for those who wronged her, they come knocking with regret, apologies, and pleas for reconciliation.

But Ava isn't interested in reliving old pain.

She's not the woman they discarded. She's someone stronger-someone who doesn't need closure to know she's already won.

A raw and emotionally charged story about betrayal, healing, and what it truly means to move on, this is a powerful reminder that you don't have to open the door just because someone finally decided to knock. Sometimes, the most radical thing you can do is simply... not answer.

DISCLAIMER: This book contains explicit content and mature themes intended for readers aged 18 and over. It is not a traditional romance, but rather a deeply complex and dark exploration of a toxic relationship.

"Tell me again how you don't want me," he whispers, dragging his lips down her neck. "Say it under oath, and I might even believe you." Jasmine Taylor doesn't lose. Not in the courtroom, not in life. At just twenty-six, she's built an ironclad reputation: fierce, brilliant, and unshakably professional. But when she's assigned the biggest case of her career-defending Dimitri Alekseev, a dangerously alluring Russian immigrant accused of murder-her world begins to crack. Dimitri isn't just a suspect. He's a problem. Tall, tattooed, and terrifyingly unreadable, with ties to a powerful family the law doesn't dare touch. The evidence against him is overwhelming. The press wants him buried. And deep down, Jasmine suspects the whispers are true. But the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to separate fact from instinct. Because beneath his cold exterior is something intoxicating. Calculated charm. Raw heat. And secrets whispered in the dark. As the trial barrels forward, Jasmine finds herself pulled into his world-one filled with shadows, blood ties, and undeniable temptation. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she risks not just her career, but her safety... and her soul. What happens when the woman who always plays by the rules falls for the man who was born to break them?
