Jasmine Flamesworth

Jasmine, une femme de 37 ans mariée à Xavier, un homme respectable mais peu porté sur l’intimité, lutte pour combler son désir sexuel insatisfait. Leur fille, Elcha, a besoin d’un répétiteur, et c’est ainsi que Guy entre dans leur vie. Ce dernier devient rapidement plus qu’un simple professeur : il séduit Jasmine et entretient avec elle une liaison passionnée et interdite. Mais ce jeu dangereux, alimenté par l’argent et le secret, finit par déraper. Lorsque Jasmine tente de mettre fin à cette relation toxique, Guy la menace de chantage. Pour se libérer de cette emprise, Jasmine commet un acte irréversible : elle empoisonne son amant. Peu après, Xavier contracte une maladie grave liée indirectement à l’infidélité de sa femme, et meurt. La famille de Xavier, en colère, expulse Jasmine et Elcha, s’appropriant tous les biens du défunt. Le karma, implacable, s’abat alors sur Jasmine, dont la vie bascule dans le chaos.

Jasmine has been best friends with Hunter Carrington since she could crawl; she has always been there for him at every point in his life. She has also had a crush on him since junior high. Hunter never saw her as more than a best friend, and Jasmine had to live with the crushing unrequited love. Jasmine’s world stopped when he announced his engagement to her cunning and manipulative half sister, Lily. She never knew they were together, and it hurts even more that she had to plan their wedding while going through the worst heartbreak. Things take a wild turn when Lily abandons Hunter and leaves their engagement ring at his doorstep. Both of their worlds were shaken and overturned. The stakes were even higher, and the wedding had to happen. It would merge the Carringtons and the Blackwoods Hospitality business, and Jasmine is at the centre of it all. She is forced to marry a man she once loved but hates now.
