He was the son of the most powerful man in the United States and was born to be another mafia leader in the group his father controlled. But David doesn't believe in destiny and will do anything to plan his path. What could happen when their paths cross? Might they be able to face Simon and win?

Saphira is a beautiful woman with long, light blonde hair and blue-gray eyes, only 25 years old. She is simple and shy, but she is strong and decisive when it comes to work. A harassment situation at her company leads her to move from a small town in Texas to New York. She takes her little savings and CV and tries to get a job. Christopher is the CEO of a large advertising company. When Saphira starts working for him, he maintains his professionalism and detachment, but he can't help but appreciate the girl's beauty. He is always jumping from woman to woman, and his playboy fame is well known, so when he confesses his interest in her on a business trip, Saphira doesn't take him seriously and sets the professional barrier between them very high. Her coldness towards him stirs up the feeling that is born in his chest even more, but Saphira doesn't allow any approach, despite Christopher sometimes seeing in her eyes that the feeling is reciprocal. What would he have to do to conquer the girl who looked like "the girl next door" he's been looking for all his life? And why doesn't Saphira want to give him a chance? What dark secret keeps her away?

VOLUME 1 TRILOGIA ILHA DO CORVO — Eu não amo você. — murmurei. Ele deixou seu vinho de lado e se levantou, devagar ele diminuiu a distância entre nós, e com a ponta dos dedos tocou meu queixo, seu olhar vagou para minha boca e depois permaneceu em meus olhos. — Eu também não a amo princesa, e nem pretendo. Ele disse essas palavras com total frieza e se afastou se sentando novamente e isso me enfureceu. — Por que lutar em um torneio pela minha mão então? tudo isso porque sou uma princesa? —disparei. — Você é uma princesa Lancaster e eu preciso de um herdeiro digno. — Eu desejo que meu ventre seja seco como as areias do deserto, comandante. Ele me encarou e vi um lampejo de raiva em seus olhos negros, mas no mesmo instante ele o escondeu e colocou seu sorriso cínico no lugar. — Então nesse caso teríamos que tentar muitas vezes querida, até que seu ventre se torne menos seco, eu tentaria pelo resto da vida até. — rebateu maliciosamente.

Avant le mariage, j'ai découvert que j'étais enceinte de plus de deux mois. Clément Rousseau, légèrement ivre, a caressé mon ventre en plaisantant : « Chloé Martin, je ne suis pas prêt à être père, on ne pourrait pas garder cet enfant, d'accord ? » J'ai répondu calmement, le cœur déjà vide : « D'accord. » Dans ma vie précédente, j'avais insisté pour garder cet enfant, tandis qu'Élise Morel avait fait une fausse couche et ne pouvait plus tomber enceinte. Clément m'en avait voulu à cause de cela et m'avait traitée avec une froideur extrême après notre mariage. Et même mon fils, que j'avais mis au monde après un accouchement difficile frôlant la mort, avait pleuré en réclamant Élise comme sa mère. Plus tard, après un accident de voiture et une hémorragie, le père et le fils m'avaient dépassée sans un regard. Ils s'étaient précipités pour assister à l'accouchement d'Élise. À l'étage, j'avais perdu tout mon sang et j'étais morte. En bas, ils avaient agité des bâtons lumineux pour fêter ensemble l'arrivée d'une nouvelle vie. Dans cette nouvelle vie, je n'avais plus l'intention de m'abandonner ni de suivre un chemin dévoyé. J'ai composé le numéro du directeur, « Je suis prête à participer à l'expédition scientifique en Antarctique. »

Mi amigo de la infancia prometió casarse conmigo una vez que alcanzáramos la edad adecuada —pero en mi ceremonia de boda, él le dio el anillo a mi hermanastra, Sol Huarte. En ese tiempo, era Víctor Lowell, el temible heredero de la mafia, quien me había salvado anunciando públicamente que me había amado por años. Durante los cinco años de matrimonio, él cumplía cada deseo que yo tenía, incluso aquellos que mencionaba de manera casual. Yo realmente creía que era el centro de su mundo. Todo eso cambió cuando me topé con folder clasificado mientras limpiaba su repisa de libros. La primera página era un archivo sobre Sol, con tres palabras en rojo impresas en negrita: “Prioridad de protección.” Le seguía un reporte de misión que yo conocía demasiado bien. En la noche de la misión, hubo un atentado en mi contra. Mi sangre casi se derramó por completo antes de que me salvaran. Cuando desperté en el hospital, descubrí que había perdido a un bebé que no sabía que estaba esperando. Lloré amargamente en los brazos de Víctor, pero no le hablé del bebé. No quería que se preocupara más por mí. Ahora, finalmente me doy cuenta —Sol también había sido atacada esa noche, y las órdenes de Víctor habían sido: “Salven primero a Sol.” Mis lágrimas mojaron el papel, corriendo la escritura. —Está bien —dije suavemente, pero con firmeza en el silencio—. Si mi matrimonio ha sido toda una mentira, voy a desaparecer de su vida. Para siempre.
