Some go through their entire lives without an arch-nemesis.

I had two.

The first one was my stepbrother, Manuel Ramirez. My own version of a real-life boogeyman. His goal was to beat me into submission, until I was nothing more than a cowering little wraith, for his own enjoyment.

Luckily, I had a guardian angel who saved me.

The second was none other than my angel’s brother, Garret Hannigan. In my teens, I’d had a crush on him, and for all of about thirty seconds, I’d even fantasized about him saving me from Manuel.

Until I saw the disgusting and scary things he wrote, and that crush faded faster than I could turn off my phone.

Now, I have a new life—a new identity.

My goal had been to stay under the radar until I could carry out the revenge on Manuel I’d been dreaming of.

Then none other than Garret Hannigan sits down in front of me at work and orders a drink. Looking into those green eyes of his, face-to-face for the very first time, I realized the ghost of my crush still lingered.

I should have exorcised those feelings that first night. Instead, every time he walks into the club and sits in my section, not even bothering to look at the girls on the stage, those feelings only seem to grow.

But there’s a huge problem.

Garret doesn’t appear to know who I am. Not even a hint of recognition flickers in those eyes I’ve begun to drown in.

For the first time in my life, I’m happy…but what will happen when I tell him who I really am.




This book contains dark themes.

Bain

Destroy the Vitucci family from the inside out. Break them as they had broken our great-grandmother.

That was the plan.

Then I set eyes on Ciana Donati.

The moment she appeared before me, everything changed.

Sheena might think that I was her loyal soldier, but I was the one she should fear.

Ciana

All I wanted was a little time away from the craziness that was my life as a Vitucci princess. I promised to be on my best behavior if they would just let me go on vacation—and I meant to keep that promise.

Then I saw the sexy stranger on his balcony next door, and my entire world shifted.

I didn’t plan to fall for him, but as we shared bottles of wine and our darkest secrets under the stars each night, I gave him my heart.

Never once imagining it was all part of his plan to use me to hurt the person I loved most.

Heartbroken, I returned home, determined to forget the biggest mistake of my life.

But I brought a lot more with me than just a shattered heart.

Sometimes, beauty covers a whole lot of ugly.

That was one of the many valuable lessons I learned the summer I lived in Creswell Springs with the Angel’s Halo MC.

They taught me about responsibility and respect—not just for others, but, more importantly, for myself.

I liked to think I came home a better person. Someone who wasn’t just pretty on the outside anymore.

And then I met Zak.

Golden eyes. Chiseled jaw. That deep, gravelly voice mixed with a slight Russian accent that did something to me no man ever had before.

The way he looked at me, I didn’t just feel beautiful—I felt powerful.

Before I knew it, I’d fallen for him.

My heart was in his hands.

But did he want to cherish it…or crush it?

We had plans.

Until we didn’t.

His entire life revolved around baseball, and even the part he wanted me to play in it was to help him succeed.

Crap happens. Plans change, and life goes on.

Sure, I’m bored out of my mind at times—boring job, boring dates…boring life.

But I’m over Nolan Krenshaw.

At least…I’ve tried to move on and get over him.

When Nolan’s career is suddenly on the line, I’m the one he turns to.

I tell myself the only reason I’m helping him is so I can officially put him behind me.

Of course, it’s a lie.

He was all I ever wanted, until he broke my heart.

This time, I’m not stupid enough to believe that he would ever put me first.

My favorite charity asked for my help. It sounded so simple—twelve dates in twelve different cities during my summer tour. All I had to do was show up, take a few pictures with the highest bidder, pretend to have a good time, and move on. Pretty easy, right?

Wrong.

The highest bidder for the first date was my childhood bully. He might have stopped tormenting me in recent years, but I couldn’t forget how much he’d hated me when we were younger and all the awful things he’d put me through.

But it was only one date. I could survive a few hours alone with him, especially since he’d dropped some major cash for my time.

Only, he won the bid for the next date…and the one after that. A million dollars later, he’d won all twelve dates.

Which left me wondering… Why?

I was starting to think Cannon Cage didn’t actually hate me after all.

Doe

Jenner conquered my heart with such ease. I lowered my walls for him, giving him a piece of my heart that I’d never allowed anyone else outside my family to touch. With him, I found the parts of myself that had been missing.

For the first time in my life, I felt as if I’d found someone to cherish me the way my dad cherishes my mom.

Then I found out I was the other woman.

Jenner

From the moment I set eyes on Doe, I was hers. I tried to keep my distance, knowing that if I allowed myself too close, I’d never get enough. But a man was only so strong. With one touch, I was addicted.

Nothing could make me give her up. I’d spend my life cherishing her.

I just had to find a way to make my stubborn little lamb listen—she was never the other woman.

She was the only woman for me.
