The name "Paldoma" struck fear into the hearts of everyone. In the city of San Cordova, the Paldoma conglomerate HQ loomed over the bustling skyline. Onlookers would gaze up at the towering glass structure, the Paldoma symbol shimmering with status and power.
At face value?
Alfonso Paldoma. The handsome face and charismatic talker. He handled appearances and faced the press. He presented the carefully curated image of Paldoma.
But the one behind the powerful backbone of the Paldoma Group was,
Giselle Paldoma.
A devoted wife. The true leader, reigning over the Paldoma Group next to her husband.
Alfonso presented clean to the world while she handled all the dirty work-the not-so-legal side of keeping their company afloat.
Giselle saw Alfonso as her ride or die. She swore to him the day they married that they were bound together forever......until the end of time and even after death.
Others even swooned knowing that Alfonso, originally born Alfonso Venturi, took Giselle's last name-Paldoma.
Their love story crafted them into the ultimate power couple... until Alfonso betrayed Giselle in what could be considered the worst betrayal of the century.
Now Giselle has become the definition of a woman scorned.
She craves retribution for all she has lost, and a man by the name of Justinian Venturi, the estranged brother of Alfonso is far too eager to bring a smile back to her face.

Before Marlowe Ackerman goes away to Brown University, she does the bravest thing she's ever done. She confesses to her best friend, Oliver Abbott, that she is in love with him. And Oliver breaks her heart gently. To him, Marlowe is his safe place. His best friend. The one person who has always been there for him. His feelings for her have never changed, and he is certain they never will. At eighteen, Oliver is desperate for a fresh start after years of being the awkward, gangly dork. Parties, girls, fraternity life, reinvention-he wants everything he thinks college is supposed to give him. But once he gets there, nothing feels right without Marlowe. While she thrives at Brown, Oliver falls apart. He fails classes, wakes up hungover, surrounds himself with the wrong people, and slowly realizes the reason his feelings for Marlowe never changed is because he has loved her all along. But he's too late. When he goes to tell her, he finds her in bed with her boyfriend, Sam. Jealousy and heartbreak make him spit ugly, cruel words he will regret for the rest of his life.

He is a history teacher at their old high school, a wrestling coach, and a man who has spent a decade learning from the worst mistake of his life.
