Judd Ryder

Adele thought the worst day of her life was burying her husband—until the Mafia came to collect the twenty million dollars he left behind. They didn’t just want money. They took her kidney, broke her leg, scarred her face, and left her for dead. Six months later, Adele discovered the cruelest betrayal of all: her husband, Eric, was still alive… and expecting a child with his mistress. When she threatened to expose him, he killed her. But death wasn’t the end. Adele woke up in the past, with one burning vow: this time, she would not be the victim. This time, she would make Eric pay. Her revenge plan was flawless until a new devil entered the game. Angel Dragovich. The ruthless head of House Dragovich—dangerous, sinfully magnetic, and calculative. He wasn’t part of her story before—so why was he here now? ……… Angel Dragovich doesn’t chase petty debts, but when he sees Adele, he claims her as his own. Her fire awakens something dark in him… something that won’t rest until she bends—or breaks.

They say betrayal cuts deepest when it comes from the one you love. Larissa learned that the hard way. One slip of the tongue. Four deadly words. “It was an accident.” In a moment of blind trust, Larissa took the fall for a crime she didn’t commit—believing her fiancé would fix it. Instead, he turned his back on her and watched her get locked away. Now out on parole and drowning in shame, Larissa’s last chance at justice comes from the last man she should trust—his brother. Cold. Calculated. Dangerous. Everything about him screams don’t play his game. But he wants revenge just as much as she does. And he has a plan that starts with one forbidden rule: Marry me, and we ruin him together. Trusting a Patterson destroyed her once. Trusting another might cost her more than just her freedom. But this time, Larissa isn’t playing to survive—she’s playing to win. Because love is messy. Loyalty is dead. And revenge? That’s the most forbidden game of all.

I'm a member of a top-secret research unit. As per my superior's request, I am to deliver a file to Celeste Judd, my older sister. The moment I step into my sister's office, an intern, Ethan Irwin, quickly moves to stand in my way. "Are you the new assistant?" He eyes me up and down, finally noticing the document envelope in my hand. Then, he chortles loudly. "It's your first day on the job, and yet you're already trying to suck up to Ms. Judd! Why don't you take a look in the mirror and see how pathetic you are?" Only then do I realize that Ethan has mistaken me as a love rival. But the thing is, Celeste has never told me that she has a boyfriend. I'm about to explain the truth to Ethan when I feel his fist colliding with my face. "I'm the only assistant Ms. Judd needs! You can forget about being her boyfriend!" Ethan yanks me by the hair as he dumps scalding hot water onto my face. "To think that you're already planning on becoming a sugar baby and seducing rich women at such a young age! I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents!" I can only curl into a small ball on the floor. Stubbornly, I use my body to protect the document envelope. My actions infuriate Ethan to no end. He snatches the file away before ripping it into pieces in front of the entire company. He even says fawningly to Celeste, "Ms. Judd, your new assistant sure is a bold one for trying to seduce you! But don't worry, for I've already taught him a lesson!"

Era miembro de una unidad de investigación ultrasecreta. Por encargo de mi superior, debía entregarle un archivo a Celeste Judd, mi hermana. En el momento en que entré en la oficina de mi hermana, un pasante, Ethan Irwin, se interpuso rápidamente en mi camino. —¿Eres el nuevo asistente? Me miró de arriba a abajo y notó el sobre de documentos que llevaba en la mano. Acto seguido, soltó una fuerte carcajada. —¡Es tu primer día de trabajo y ya estás tratando de hacer puntos con la señora Judd! ¿Por qué no te miras al espejo para ver lo patético que eres? Solo entonces me di cuenta de que Ethan me había confundido con un rival amoroso. Pero el caso era que Celeste nunca me había dicho que tuviera novio. Estaba a punto de explicarle la verdad a Ethan cuando sentí que su puño se estrellaba contra mi cara. —¡Yo soy el único asistente que necesita la señora Judd! ¡Olvídate de ser su novio! —¡Pensar que a tu edad ya estás planeando convertirte en un mantenido y seducir a mujeres ricas! —exclamó Ethan mientras me jalaba del cabello y derramaba agua hirviendo sobre mi cara—. ¡Te voy a dar una lección en nombre de tus padres! Lo único que pude hacer fue acurrucarme en el suelo, hecho bolita. Con torpeza, usé mi cuerpo para proteger el sobre de documentos. Mis acciones enfurecieron a Ethan a más no poder. Me arrebató el archivo y lo hizo pedazos frente a toda la empresa. —¡Señora Judd, no cabe duda de que su nuevo asistente es un atrevido por intentar seducirla! —le dijo a Celeste en tono adulador—. ¡No se preocupe, porque ya le di una lección!
