When Clara Montemayor was forced into an engagement with a man her family had chosen for her, she strongly opposed the idea. To her, arranged marriages had no place in the 21st century—she believed in love, not convenience. But as the only daughter in the Montemayor family, she had little say in the matter, especially since the marriage would bring great benefits to their name. Desperate to make her faceless fiancé—whom she only knew by name—lose interest, she intentionally gained weight and dressed in ways she thought would repel him, hoping he would reject her. But when that plan failed, she took the first chance she got to escape. Leaving home for college, she was determined to live independently and find love on her own terms—love that accepted her flaws, not her family’s wealth. That was when she met Tyler, the ace of their university’s baseball team—the man she thought would love her for who she was. For three years, she believed in their relationship, only to discover that she had been nothing more than a bet to him. Now, years later, Clara returns—not as the timid girl everyone once knew, but as a woman ready for revenge. But halfway through her revenge, she unexpectedly crosses paths with Dexter—the ex-fiancé she once ran away from. .…………………………. This is a slow pace novel, so read at your own risk
