La vengeance. Elle a été le seul objectif de Courtney pendant des mois, l'unique perspective à laquelle elle s'est raccrochée pour surmonter le viol qu'elle a subi. Contrainte de s'endurcir, elle s'est réfugiée derrière le masque de Méduse, son alter ego mythologique derrière lequel elle a dissous sa réelle personnalité.

I knew I’d never have the luxury of choosing my own wife. An arranged marriage was a sacrifice men in my position had to make for their families. It wasn’t something I looked forward to, but it had to be done. I just never imagined my father would choose her to be my bride: Daniela Moretti, the daughter of my enemy...and I intended to treat her as such. Since the day she set foot in my house as my wife, my loathing of her turned into something deadlier than hate. Her strength intrigued me. Her fight seduced me. And I started seeing more in her than just Moretti blood.

Il l’a trompée. Elle a pleuré. Puis elle a souri. Cette année, la Saint-Valentin sera tout sauf romantique. Elle sera sauvage, calme, précise. Elle a tout prévu. Jusqu’au moindre frisson. “Je vais me faire un plaisir de te montrer ce que ça fait. J’ai hâte de voir ton expression… Et à la fin, tu me diras ‘Merci’.” Bonne fête de Saint-Valentin.

Même les meilleures amies ne se disent pas tout (surtout côté sexe). Même les filles les plus gentilles deviennent parfois (très) méchantes. Même les épouses aimantes peuvent souhaiter une mort (vraiment) atroce à leur mari. Maryse, alias Karma-Mamma, en sait quelques chose. Son salaud de mari s'en est bien tiré en mourant de manière opportune et ça ne calme en rien le volcan qui gronde en elle. L'heure de la vengeance à sonné.

Living alone in New York, I never felt safe, but I couldn't leave. I was here to find the man I'd lost seven years ago. I had no idea that he'd already found me. I had no idea that he was watching me, controlling my every movement. He's no longer the rebel kid from across the tracks. Now, he's heir to the most brutal bratva the city has ever known. I'm in love with a monster, and he's watching my every move.

As a professional hockey player, people think I live a charmed life. On the surface, I do. But they don’t know the horrors of my childhood, or the real reason that I have custody of my 17-year-old sister, Janelle. And that’s exactly the way I like it. They may think I’m a prick because I don’t like to share, but that’s fine. They don’t know me, and they don’t need to.

I was living my dream until one phone call changed everything. As the second line center for the Arizona Vengeance, my mind has been on one thing - helping my team bring home a championship. But that all changed when I found out my dad had cancer and only months to live. In that moment, nothing mattered more than getting home to North Carolina to be by his side. That meant asking for the unthinkable - a trade to the Carolina Cold Fury.
