A Quiet Kind of Ruin

A Quiet Kind of Ruin

After a vicious family power struggle, I fled to a small border town in the south. I took on a new identity and found work in a flower shop. Everyone believed I was dead. Then one day, someone from the family came to the shop to order flowers for the birthday party for Roman Jackson, the head of the Jackson family. The person who arrived was my former Underboss. She stared at me in shock and demanded to know why I had not returned to the Jackson family if I was still alive. She told me that Roman had kept watch over my grave for two years and that he had attempted suicide three times in the cemetery, each time stopped by someone else. Roman was my ex-husband. He had an adopted sister, Liliana. Fifteen years ago, her parents were gunned down while covering Roman's father's escape from a rival family. After that, Liliana became Roman's most cherished sister. She tampered with my armored car. The brakes failed, and the vehicle plunged off a cliff. I broke three ribs. Roman mobilized every resource the family had and pulled me back from the brink of death. She bribed my bodyguard and laced my red wine with a neurotoxin. I lay unconscious in the villa for three days and nights. Roman sealed off the entire city, hunted down everyone involved, and made them pay in blood. She tried to kill me, and he saved me. This absurd cycle went on for three years. Until the last time. She detonated a bomb at an arms deal I was overseeing, burning seventy percent of my body. As I was lifted onto the ambulance stretcher, I clutched Roman's suit and, with the last of my strength, begged him. "Kill her, Roman. She sabotaged the deal. Those are the family rules." He crouched down, his fingers brushing my bloodstained face. His voice was calm, almost cruel. "Liliana didn't mean to. Let it go. For the sake of what her parents sacrificed for the family." In that moment, my heart to him died completely.

Je ne te reverrai plus jamais après ma renaissance

Je ne te reverrai plus jamais après ma renaissance

Après ma renaissance, j'ai décidé de mettre fin à toute relation avec Jacques, mon compagnon de destin avec qui j'ai grandi. Quand il a organisé une fête à Hawaï pour tous les guérisseurs de la tribu, j'ai pris l'avion pour San Diego. Il a dit que mon odeur lui donnait la nausée, à lui et à son loup, alors j'ai immédiatement déménagé et dépensé 500 euros pour faire nettoyer la maison en profondeur. Il a exigé que je ne me présente plus jamais dans sa tribu. J'ai volontairement abandonné mon poste de guérisseuse privée de l'Alpha et suis partie travailler à temps partiel à la ville centrale pour subvenir à mes besoins. Enfin, il a dit que ma présence risquait de faire croire à sa bien-aimée petite demi-sœur qu'il éprouvait des sentiments pour moi. J'ai acquiescé, puis j'ai accepté la demande en mariage de l'Alpha de la ville centrale. J'ai accepté la dot et j'ai emménagé dans une villa d'une valeur de dix-huit millions d'euros. J'ai rejeté l'amour humble et obséquieux de ma vie précédente, et j'ai choisi de faire des transactions rationnelles et lucides. Après tout, dans ma vie précédente, j'avais tout sacrifié, ma fortune et ma vie, mais Jacques ne m'avait offert que trahison. Quand sa petite demi-sœur avait été empoisonnée, il m'avait traitée de meurtrière et m'avait condamnée à mourir sous la torture de la tribu pour crime. Cette fois, je comptais bien vivre ma vie. Et lorsque je tenais la main de l'Alpha lors de la fête de Pleine Lune, Jacques s'est soudainement dressé devant moi, les yeux injectés de sang. « Amina, reste avec moi, et je te pardonnerai ta décision incorrecte. » J'ai souri avec ironie : « Peux-tu te permettre la villa que mon Alpha m'a achetée ? »

Song of the Quiet Flame

Song of the Quiet Flame

What a small world. As Elaine Johnson was checking in at the hotel front desk, she happened to bump into Jasper Carter's young mistress —a girl who looked like an innocent college student. She was dressed in a simple white cotton dress, pure and demure, with a shy, sweet smile. "Hello, here's your room key. You'll be staying in the executive suite on the top floor," the receptionist said. "Thank you, miss," the girl replied softly, taking the key. Just then, her phone rang. Elaine overheard her speaking bashfully to the person on the other end: "Mr. Carter, I... I'm already here. When will you be coming?" Her tone was soft, a little nervous, filled with affectionate anticipation. A moment later, Elaine heard her add, "Mhm, I'll wait for you. No rush. Please drive carefully, Mr. Carter." The girl's voice was so sweet and tender, it could have melted anyone's heart. Elaine could not help thinking that her husband had good taste — the girl was young and beautiful, gentle and thoughtful, the kind of woman any man would find hard to resist.

I don’t usually write reviews but this one merited one. This is by far one of the best books I’ve read so far! Although there are some grammatical errors and the story could flow a bit better, the synopsis and the characters were well written. I would totally recommend this book. So worth it!

It took me a bit to get into it, but I’m glad I stuck it out. Evan is funny. Him n Mike had me rolling over there who gets her the whole way… leaving ppl guessing who she chooses. There are real issues of physical abuse in here, but the book definitely shows resolution to it. I like this Author.
