LOGINEmma Carter has been crazily in love with her boyfriend, Trevor, since high school. She spent six years of her life being the perfect girlfriend, waiting for the day Trevor would finally propose so they could finally build a future together. It happened. The day finally came, but the ring wasn't for her. He proposed to her best friend of five years, Allysia. Adrian Beaufort is everything Emma has always avoided. He’s an arrogant, wealthy, and playboy who has every type of girl wrapped around his fingers. He’s not just tempting; he’s also Allysia’s stepbrother. Heartbroken and humiliated, Emma should have walked away. Instead, she ran straight into cocky Adrian, the only one who sees the woman behind the glasses. He offers a tempting way to deal with her heartbreak: a hot, reckless night together. What starts as a reckless night of passion to numb the pain quickly turns into a dangerous addiction. But Emma has a plan: she’s going to make Trevor regret every second of his betrayal. She’s convinced that if she uses Adrian to make him jealous, Trevor will come crawling back. It works better than she expected. Trevor, now a married man, finds out about the two of them. Filled with jealousy, he is desperate to have her back in his life, realizing too late exactly what he threw away. But Trevor has a problem. He’s now competing with his own brother-in-law, a man who doesn't play fair and has no intention of letting Emma go. As the game goes on, Emma is caught between the past she thought she wanted and the man who finally made her feel alive. Will she take back the man who broke her, or give in to the playboy who claimed her first?

I hate that anyone would do something so dangerous, and I especially hated how Adrian had accused my wife wrongly earlier without any proof.”I looked down at the blanket, a sudden, heavy sadness washing over me. My throat felt tight. He wasn’t doing this because he actually cared about me or wanted to find the person who had almost killed me. He was only doing this because he was angry that Adrian had accused Allysia. He wanted to clear his wife's name alone. The realization stung more than I wanted to admit.Allysia sniffed, lifting her chin proudly as she clung tighter to Trevor’s arm. “Exactly. I’m going to call the resort manager myself first thing in the morning and demand that the CCTV footage from the trail area be sent straight to my phone. Once we see who actually did i
Emma “What?!” I blinked at him. “You cannot be serious.” A breathless scoff escaped me, half laugh, half disbelief. Adrian didn’t even blink.“I’m completely serious,” he said, leaning back slightly as if this conversation wasn’t unhinged at all. I stared at him, waiting for the smug grin or sarcastic comment that would tell me he was joking, but he didn’t say a thing. “You’ve officially lost your mind,” I muttered, shaking my head. “I can’t just leave Olivia here all alone and go with you to London.” His brows pulled together slightly, as if my objection genuinely confused him. “There are only three days left until the end of this entire trip, Em. Olivia will survive a few days without you. Besides, she already seems to be having a great time with Hunter, whether you’re around or not.” I opened my mouth to argue, but the words died in my throat as his point actually sank in. He’s actually right. A slight wave of defeat washed over me. Over the last few days, Olivia and
EmmaAdrian tucked several soft pillows gently against my back before walking around to take a seat next to me on the bed. Olivia and Hunter had already left, leaving the room completely quiet, and I was left entirely alone with Adrian .I couldn’t stop watching in amusement as he pulled a thick blanket over my exposed legs. His movements were very gentle and when his long, soft fingers brushed against my skin, it sent a sudden jolt straight through my body. Despite the tension in my body, I couldn’t stop the small smile that crept across my lips.“What?” Adrian asked, noticing my expression as he tucked the edges of the blanket beneath my legs so it wouldn’t slide off again.“So… in other words, you actually care about me?” I asked teasingly, tilting my head.A slow, cocky grin broke across his face at that.“Care?” he repeated, leaning back slightly on the bed as he made a face. “Don’t get ahead of yourself, Nerdy Emma.”I gasped, my hand automatically reaching for the huge pillow r
EmmaMy head felt like it had been split open and stitched back together badly as I forced a slow groan past my lips.“Emma! Thank God!” a voice exclaimed right by my left side.I squinted hard, trying to look toward the sound. The sudden movement sent a sharp pain through my head, making me wince. Two blurred figures stood right in front of me, their shapes fuzzy and shifting until the room stopped spinning. Gradually, the blurs cleared up completely, and I saw Hunter and Olivia standing right over my bed. Olivia’s face was entirely red and swollen, her eyes puffy like she had been crying for hours. I hadn't even realized until that exact second that she was holding my right hand tightly in both of hers.“Why did you scare me like that?” Olivia said, her lips wobbling as if she was about to have another breakdown just a few seconds from now.“Liv…” I muttered, my throat feeling completely dry. I was about to force myself to speak more, when a voice interrupted me before I could get t
