I despised the man who shattered my perfect family—until I fell in love with him. When my mother, Lauren, remarried a man nearly half my age, I was furious. Carlos is arrogant, calculating, and far too charming for his own good. I want nothing to do with him—until the walls between us begin to crack, and hatred turns into something far more dangerous. But Carlos isn’t just my stepfather. He’s a man with a secret. He didn’t marry my mother for love—he married her for revenge. Now, with everything I thought I knew unraveling, I must face the truth: I’m in love with the man who came to destroy my mother.
