Ten years ago, he was Finn Martins, a sweet, poor boy deeply in love with Nina Peres. Now, he's Markos Petrakis, a ruthless, multi-billionaire shipping magnate, back in Rio with one burning purpose: revenge against the man who ruined his family. The catch? That man is Nina's father. Can love survive when a good boy turns bad, and his path of vengeance crosses with the only woman he ever adored?

Can love survive when a good boy turns bad, and his path of vengeance crosses with the only woman he ever adored?

The air in the boardroom was thick with tension, a palpable hum that vibrated through the polished mahogany table. Markos Petrakis, a name now synonymous with power and fear, felt a familiar flare of his senses as his gaze settled on her.

Nina Peres. Still beautiful, impossibly so. More gorgeous, in fact, than the girl he remembered from a lifetime ago. A ghost from a past he had meticulously buried under layers of wealth and ruthlessness. His carnal cravings ignited, a dangerous counterpoint to the icy control he usually maintained.

He watched her, poised and elegant, across the imposing table. The daughter of the man who had ruined him, who had stolen his future, his family's honor. Her father's tainted blood, a shared legacy that fueled his hate, even as her presence stirred a different, unwelcome emotion. He wanted Luiz Fernando Peres to suffer a million-fold for his sins. And he, Markos Petrakis, would ensure it.

He felt the familiar hardening of his body, a physical betrayal that threatened his composure. Control. He needed control. This was a game of vengeance, not desire. Yet, with Nina Peres in the room, the lines blurred, and the past threatened to consume the carefully constructed present.
