2회차 인생, 나는 마음대로 살기로 했다

"Merciless and driven, billionaire Anthony Bertram built his company from the ground-up, dedicating every waking moment to creating one of the most powerful corporations in the world. The last thing he has time for is romance. He almost lost everything when his first marriage fell apart. Disillusioned from his divorce, Anthony knows from experience that love only makes you weak. When a mix-up results in a woman showing up at his supposedly private cabin during his vacation, all of his plans are completely upended. This woman is just what he doesn’t need: beautiful, spirited, and so maddening that suddenly all Anthony wants is to make her his. A free-spirited artist and activist, Thea Younger wants to leave the world a better place. When she arrives at the cabin she’s booked for a much-needed vacation and finds Anthony Bertram there—a man who represents everything she’s against—she refuses to let him intimidate her into leaving. When bad weather forces the pair to stay in the cabin together for a week, though, Thea soon discovers that the man behind the mask is no heartless monster. Anthony is all flesh-and-blood man, and one whose kisses she can’t resist. Desire flames between them until they both surrender to exquisite temptation. But as secrets loom over Thea, she must look inside her heart and find the courage to take a chance on love."

친구와 뮤직 페스티벌에 가기로 약속한 날 나는 오빠의 첫사랑에 의해 화장실에 갇히고 말았다. “요즘 어린 것들이 왜 이렇게 발랑 까졌는지 몰라. 감히 대표인 내 남자 친구를 꼬셔?” “내가 오늘 너 톡톡히 손봐준다. 부모님이 교육을 그따위로 시켰으면 내가 바로잡아줘야지.” 나는 해명하려 했지만 아무 소용이 없었다. 화장실 대걸레를 빤 물을 내 몸에 뒤집어씌우는가 하면 모두가 보는 앞에서 내 따귀를 후려친 것도 모자라 내 옷을 벗기고 빨갛게 지져진 인두로 내 몸에 ‘빌어먹을 세컨드’라는 글자를 새겼다. 오빠가 도착했을 때 나는 이미 얼굴을 알아볼 수 없을 정도로 망가진 상태였다. “인혁아, 내 말 좀 들어봐. 나는 네 친동생인 줄 정말 몰랐어. 그냥 아끼는 동생이라고 생각했지.”

Как же далеко завело Эрику расследование убийств молодых девушек в Нью-Йорке! Сколько же ошибок она наделала… Похоже, она знает, кто стоит за жуткими преступлениями, но от этого не легче. Спустя пятнадцать лет а ее жизни вновь появился Джейдан Престон. Это не может быть случайностью, и Эрика прекрасно это понимает. Наверное, мама сказала бы ей, что Джейдан – это «Мактуб». Что их встреча была предначертана Автором судеб. Но она бы ошиблась, ведь Джейдан Престон – ужасный человек. Он и сам в этом чистосердечно признался Эрике, заявив, что он куда страшнее «ядовитого любовника», которого девушка так долго искала. Но кто может быть хуже хладнокровного убийцы? Возможно, старый знакомый что-то недоговаривает? Или своей нарочитой открытостью пытается скрыть нечто важное от глаз Эрики? Нет ответов. В одном она уверена на все сто – сейчас ей точно нельзя терять голову из-за этого опасного человека. Но как же это, черт возьми, непросто!
