"She ruled an empire built on power and ambition-until betrayal brought her to her knees. Evelyn Carter lost everything to the man she once loved, but she refuses to stay defeated. With revenge burning in her veins and a dangerous new ally by her side, she rises from the ashes to reclaim her throne. But the past is never truly buried, and as old flames and new enemies collide, Evelyn must decide: is vengeance worth the cost of her soul? A gripping tale of power, love, and betrayal-where the only rule is survival."
Evelyn Carter was a name that struck fear and admiration in the business world. A self-made billionaire, she had built her empire from the ground up, shattering glass ceilings and crushing anyone who dared stand in her way. No man, no corporation, no enemy could break her.
And yet, she had been blind to the one who could.
She had given her heart-something more valuable than her wealth-to Liam Donovan, the only man who had ever made her feel something beyond ambition. He was charming, intelligent, and supportive-or so she thought.
"You make me want to be a better man, Eve," he had whispered one night, his fingers tracing delicate patterns down her spine, sending shivers through her body. She had believed him. She had let herself believe in love, in a future where she didn't always have to fight.
Until the moment he took everything.
The betrayal had come swift and brutal. One day, she was at the top, and the next, she was drowning-her company stolen, her reputation tarnished, her empire reduced to ruins. And Liam? He stood at the helm of it all, watching with a smirk as the woman who had given him everything fell.
But Evelyn Carter was not a woman who stayed down for long.
From the ashes of her former life, she would rise again-stronger, fiercer, more ruthless than ever. Love had made her weak once. It would never happen again.
And this time, when she faced Liam Donovan, he would learn that betraying Evelyn Carter was the last mistake he would ever make.

"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin.

"Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
