It was supposed to be a harmless kiss at a lavish debutante ball. A clandestine moment with a handsome stranger. But unlike his namesake, my Romeo isn’t driven by love. He’s fueled by revenge. To him, I’m a chess piece. Leverage. His rival’s betrothed. To me, he is a man deserving of poison. A dark prince I refuse to marry. He thinks I’ll accept my fate. Well, I plan to rewrite it. And in my story, Juliet doesn’t die. But Romeo? He perishes.

Not every love story begins in the light...Sometimes, the prince isn't charming. The damsel causes more distress than she's in. Sometimes, the danger doesn't come from a magic spell. It comes from each other. Welcome to dark romance.

I wasn’t supposed to be on that roof on Valentine’s Day. Neither was Kellan Marchetti, the school’s designated freak. We met on the verge of ending our lives. Somehow, the tattered strings of our tragedies tangled and tightened into an unlikely bond. We decided not to take the plunge and agreed to check on each other every Valentine’s Day until school ended. Same time. One roof. Two restless souls. We kept our promise for three years.

The task was simple: Sneak into Zachary Sun's closely guarded manor. Retrieve my pendant. Slip out. Problem #1? America's most unattainable bachelor caught me. Problem #2? He decided to keep me. As the help. Zach Sun's winter may be the coldest I've ever felt, but he makes my skin burn. Reserved, calculated, and savagely cruel, he thrives on the weaknesses of others. Little does he know, he just met his match.

I had a plan to escape the friend zone. Step one: sneak into Reed’s room. Step two: sleep with him. But when the lights turned on, it wasn’t familiar blue eyes I saw. These were dark, angry, and full of demons. And they belonged to Reed’s much-older brother. Four years later, Nash Prescott is no longer the help’s angry son. I’m no longer the town’s prized princess. At 22, I’m broke, in need of a job. At 32, he’s a billionaire, in need of revenge.

Ten years ago, I crushed Damiano De Luca’s heart, vowing false promises I never delivered. The revenge? Didn’t happen. The destruction? As if I could. Betrayal? Not. A. Chance. We were 18 when I left, taking my secrets with me. Now at 28, there’s no trace of the jaded mafia prince with the protective streak. He’s crueler. Colder. More calculated than ever. And he’s glaring at me from a funeral pew, looking at me and my wedding ring like we should be the ones buried six feet under. The war is back on, but I’m not that teenage girl anymore. This time, there will be blood.

I love my boss. I love a man some call a monster. I love a man more accustomed to cruelty than kindness. But we both have our duties.

We were best friends, then we were enemies. Loved. Protected. Cherished. There was a time when Ranieri Andretti made me feel those things. That was before his family came after mine. He was supposed to forget me. We went our separate ways. It should have stayed like that. But now he's back in my life, and he's my new boss. I want to hate him. He's my ex-best friend. My tormentor. The head of the Andretti family. But no matter how hard I try...I can't stay away.

C’est la vengeance qui l'anime. Pour lui, je suis un pion sur un échiquier. La fiancée de son rival. Pour moi, c’est un homme qui mérite le poison. Un prince ténébreux que je refuse d’épouser. Il pense que j’accepterai mon destin. Eh bien, j’ai l’intention de le réécrire.

Damiano De Luca: a curse with no cure. Before he ruled the De Luca family, before he became the man everyone feared, before he scoured an empire in search of me, he chose me to ruin. I was innocent. An untainted princess. The heiress to the Vitali mafia throne. And I was in the wrong place at the wrong time when I met the wrong boy. My name is Renata Vitali...and this is not a love story.

Je n'ai pas l'habitude de piéger les femmes amnésiques dans le mariage. Mais je suppose qu'il y a une première fois pour tout. Elle est ici. Dans ma maison. À ma merci. J'épouse un monstre magnifique. Un escroc. Le célibataire le plus riche d'Amérique.

Dieses Dornröschen ist aufgewacht ... in einem Albtraum! OLIVER: Normalerweise locke ich Frauen mit Amnesie nicht in eine Ehe. Aber ich nehme an, es gibt für alles ein erstes Mal. Wenn mir die Frau meiner Träume in den Schoß fällt, kann ich nicht anders, als mich zu fragen, was sie in dieser Position noch so alles tun kann. Sie ist hier. In meinem Haus. Meiner Gnade ausgeliefert. Und sie denkt, dass wir das ganze Jahrzehnt, das wir getrennt waren, ein Liebespaar waren. Briar und ich waren immer eine unerledigte Angelegenheit. Jetzt ist es an der Zeit, das Geschäft zu besiegeln.

Elle est son désir le plus doux... et son secret le plus sombre. La tâche était simple : m'introduire dans le manoir étroitement gardé de Zachary Sun. Récupérer mon pendentif. M'éclipser. Problème n°1 : Le célibataire le plus inaccessible d'Amérique m'a attrapée. Problème n°2 : Il a décidé de me garder… et de m'embaucher. Zach Sun a beau être l'homme le plus froid que j'aie jamais connu, il me brûle la peau. Réservé, calculateur et sauvagement cruel, il se nourrit des faiblesses des autres. Mais il est loin de se douter qu'il vient de rencontrer son égal.

Wir waren Freunde, dann waren wir nichts mehr. Geliebt. Beschützt. Geschätzt. Es gab eine Zeit, in der Ranieri Andretti mich diese Dinge fühlen ließ. Das war, bevor seine Familie hinter meiner her war.

Mit Männern für Geld auszugehen ist nicht das, wovon die meisten Mädchen träumen, wenn sie erwachsen sind. Aber nach dem Collegeabschluss scheine ich keine Chance zu haben. Keine Jobangebote.

Ich hatte einen Plan, um der Freundschaftszone zu entkommen. Schritt eins: Schleiche dich in Reeds Zimmer. Schritt zwei: Schlafe mit ihm. Aber als das Licht anging, sah ich nicht die vertrauten blauen Augen. Diese waren dunkel, wütend und voller Dämonen. Und sie gehörten Reeds viel älterem Bruder.
