Alyssa Mustafa arrives at Harbor City’s most powerful household seeking shelter — and the one man she once loved. Instead she wakes up a caged bride, humiliated, and hunted by a handsome, vengeful heir who insists she betrayed him. Framed as a seductress, stripped of family and reputation, Alyssa survives a slaughter, a staged death, and a miscarriage — then vanishes. Years later she returns as a polished foreign-educated adviser named “Emilia” with two deadly gifts: the cold patience to seduce the man who ruined her, and stolen war maps that can hand the city to her clandestine ally, Commander Quinn Castaneda. As revenge becomes war, emotions fracture: the villain who raped her also keeps maddening, impossible remnants of love. Alliances flip. Blood-soaked truths are unearthed. In a world that traded honor for power, will she take everything — or destroy the last person who ever loved her? Revenge, seduction, military scheming, and a ruined promise — every chapter an escalating payoff: a slap, a secret, a coup. This is the map of one woman’s vengeance — and the cost of being loved by a monster.
