Seven years ago, Emerald Hutton had left her family and friends behind for high school in New York City, cradling her broken heart in her hands, to escape just only one person. Her brother's best friend, whom she loved from the day he'd saved her from bullies at the age of seven. Broken by the boy of her dreams and betrayed by her loved ones, Emerald had learned to bury the pieces of her heart in the deepest corner of her memories.
Until seven years later, she has to come back to her hometown after finishing her college. The place where now the cold-hearted stone of a billionaire resides, whom her dead heart once used to beat for.
Scarred by his past, Achilles Valencian had turned into the man everyone feared. The scorch of his life had filled his heart with bottomless darkness. And the only light that had kept him sane, was his Rosebud. A girl with freckles and turquoise eyes he'd adored all his life. His best friend's little sister.
After years of distance, when the time has finally come to capture his light into his territory, Achilles Valencian will play his game. A game to claim what's his.
Will Emerald be able to distinguish the flames of love and desire, and charms of the wave that had once flooded her to keep her heart safe? Or she will let the devil lure her into his trap? Because no one ever could escape his games. He gets what he wants. And this game is called...
The trap of Ace.

“You want me,” Ace smirked, and his hand grazed Spades’ cheek.
“I can see it in your eyes, it is all over your body. You want me just like I want you. I don’t know why you complicate things, Spades. Why do you fight it, why do you fight me?” He rasped, pressing his body against Spades’.
Spade was immobile with lust and dread, his heart was pounding, and he seethed. “You are married to my stepsister. You are the heir to the Bratva. Do I need to list more reasons why this is a bad idea? Why this can never work? You are married, you married her, you chose her. Think, Ace. Let me go.” He snapped.
Ace’s gaze darkened. “Never.” and he kissed him.
Karlin ‘Ace’ Marakov was the heir to the Russian Mafia - The Bratva. He was an arrogant, violent and self destructive man. He ruined everything he touched, he made a mess of everything and he was oblivious to his privilege. Fed up with his theatrics, his Father - The Pakhan marries him to his best friend’s daughter - Nina Ivanov.
Ace did not want her, he wanted her stepbrother.
Spades Ivanov grew up poor, he struggled as a child, and he had to work for every meal he had. He was adopted by Lee Ivanov as a child, and ever since then, he had been loyal to him. Loyal enough to carry out any order Lee gives him.
Ace and Spades collided, in a very explosive manner. The push and pull grew maddening. Ace wanted him, and he was willing to do anything to get him, he was willing to set their whole world on fire. Spades belonged to him.

“Selena…..take care of our mother”, she stuttered, then vomited blood on to her hands.
Selena blinked, taken aback by the declaration, a clod lump forming in her throat.
Even though she had just met the woman, her heart was aching profoundly
“Noooo!”, Selena shrieked out as she saw her twin collapse, her eyes wide open and not blinking.
Selena takes on the role of her dead twin sister Mia Langdon. She soon gets caught up in a power
struggle for the throne.

North.

is appointed by the Queen to guide Selena in her quest for power.
