Katherine Harrison swore one night with Dorian would be nothing more than a reckless mistake. A secret to bury. But when her father drags her into a summer of forced family bonding with her new stepmother, Katherine finds herself under the same roof as the one man she can’t stand and can’t stop craving. Dorian lives to provoke her. Every smirk, every filthy word, every brush of his body against hers feels like a dare she’s seconds away from losing. He knows exactly how to get under her skin, and the line between hate and desire blurs more with every stolen glance. She tells herself to ignore him. To remember he’s off-limits. To keep her distance. But Dorian has other plans…plans that could expose their darkest secret and burn their world to the ground. This summer, Katherine will have to decide, fight the fire or let it consume her whole.

“What if I choose not to?” I asked. “You don't want your little secret to get out, do you.” he raised a brow. “No, I don't.” I said, dropping my head. “Good.” he said, and snapped his fingers. A young man walked up to our table with a briefcase in his grip. Conrad received the briefcase from him, and placed it on the table. He unlocked and turned it to me. In the briefcase were wads of cash. “I believe this is good for a start.” he said. “Also, I'll help you get rid of that scar on your face. So what do you say?

But when she realizes that she's nothing but a pawn in Conrad's game of revenge, would she terminate the deal, and suffer for her sins, or would she help him get the information which he needs to ruin Thomas's life completely?

El día en que mi esposo, Jorge Cortes, y Leticia Batallar, la universitaria a la que él apoyaba económicamente, publicaron en Facebook las fotos de boda, yo no armé ningún escándalo. Hasta les dejé un "Me gusta". Y hasta comenté: "¡Qué linda pareja hacen! Bendiciones a los novios." Todos decían que yo era la esposa más patética de todas, que dejaba que la amante me humillara delante de todo el mundo. Una semana después, él volvió a casa para darme explicaciones: —Todo fue una actuación. El abuelo de Leticia está muy enfermo y, antes de morir, quiere verla casada. Yo asentí con calma. —No le di importancia. Te creo. En mi vida anterior, ese mismo día fui a la boda a armar un escándalo y terminé arruinándoles la ceremonia. Para castigarme, Jorge arremetió directamente contra la empresa de mis padres. La llevó a la quiebra y mis padres terminaron quitándose la vida. A mí, Leticia me mandó a encerrar en un psiquiátrico, donde me torturaron hasta volverme loca. Por eso, en esta nueva vida, ya no espero su amor. Lo único que quiero es su dinero. Cada vez que me engaña, voy transfiriendo a mi nombre parte de los bienes que todavía están a nombre de él. Solo le quedan tres infidelidades más antes de quedarse sin nada.

When Ethan was at his poorest, he came home drunk after negotiating a deal with a client. He could not even stand straight when he reached home, but he desperately pulled out two pieces of melting chocolate from his pocket. “Honey, for you! Your favorite!” During those endless days of arguments that followed, I always thought back to those two pieces of chocolate. They were the reason I compromised with him, fell pregnant for him, even miscarried for him. It all ended just now, when he forgot to log out of his WhatsApp on his computer. His friend messaged him. [Hey, your wife doesn’t know Anna joined your company yet, does she?] [Back when she was about to leave the country, you searched the whole city for her favorite chocolate, but you still couldn’t convince her to stay. After that, you got dead drunk and cried the entire way home.] [That was when I knew you would never get over her.]
