"They played her. They betrayed her. Now, she’ll make them burn." When Ava Hart’s stepmother sells her to a billionaire at a charity auction, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom—until she meets the man who bought her. Lucas Blackwood is ruthless, calculating, and dangerously magnetic. He offers her a deal: thirty days as his fake fiancée in exchange for the chance to reclaim her stolen inheritance. But Ava soon learns that nothing about Lucas—or their arrangement—is what it seems. As they navigate a glittering world of deceit and power plays, the line between hatred and desire blurs. Lucas’s touch ignites her blood, but his secrets could destroy her. Especially when she discovers his true motive: revenge against his own brother, Ethan—a man with a vendetta deeper than money. But the deeper Ava falls, the more she unravels a twisted web of lies that leads back to her own past. Her dead father isn’t dead. Her stepmother’s cruelty was orchestrated. And the man she’s falling for? He knew everything from the start. Now, with enemies closing in and her heart on the line, Ava must decide: trust the devil she knows… or become one herself. But the final betrayal? It’s not Lucas’s.
