A Taste of Her Revenge

My brother is the crown prince of Hong Kong’s elite, and his ex-girlfriend happens to be engaged to Xia Linzhou—the undisputed kingpin of Shanghai’s upper crust.

To give the star-crossed lovers a second chance, I pulled out every trick in the book to entice Xia Linzhou into calling off the wedding.

The day my brother finally brought his girl back home coincided with Xia Linzhou’s birthday. With my mission accomplished, I dropped the whole innocent “white lotus” act, casually kicked over his birthday cake, and left him with one parting shot:

“I’ve played around with more men than you can count. Did you really think I was that desperate for you?”

Leaving him in the dust, I caught the first red-eye back to Hong Kong.

Two weeks later, he tracked me down. Dark rage burning in his eyes, he pinned me to the mattress, bruising my lips with ruthless bites.

“Hmm? Not desperate?” he growled against my mouth. “Then who was that sobbing and begging me to love her before?”
