Book Description
I hate his guts and now we're engaged! How did this happen? Christina... "Okay, yeah... I know revenge isn't right but come on, it's the dirty rat from high school and he doesn't even recognize me! I don't care if he's billionaire rich or that he's even so super sexy. He's going down because I've got the perfect plan to get even. What can go wrong?" Bill... "Man, she's smoking hot and so adorable! There's just something about her that attracts me like gravity. Okay, yeah... maybe I shouldn't be blackmailing her into pretending to be my fiancee to fool my stubborn, moneybags father but she's perfect! And my plan is perfect too! What can go wrong?" William... "You give your children everything and what do you get in return? Disappointment & heartburn! If my dirty, rotten son and the girl think they can fool me with their phony scam, they've got another thing coming. I'm going to turn the tables on them and pressure the scheming duo to marry for real! That'll teach them! My plan is perfect. What can go wrong?" So... who will win? And how disastrously can 'revenge go wrong' for everybody? Here's what some previous readers had to say about Her Perfect Revenge: "Loved this book!... This book was well written. I loved how the nerdy girl in High School grew into a beautiful woman and was a bit of a spit-fire to boot. Just what the billionaire's son needed to rock his world." "LOVED IT!!!... "The story was great. Girl gets hurt in high school and years later plans her revenge, what can go wrong? Ohh my, so much! It was funny and sweet all at the same time. If someone asked me for a good vacation book, this would be on the top of my list." "Loved, loved, loved Her Perfect Revenge... Absolutely loved this book! The plot has more twists and turns than a mountain highway." "A true page turner... I read a lot of romance books. I started reading romance books in 7th grade . This one will be one of my favorites." "Could Not Stop Laughing; A Must Read... On a scale from 1 to 5, this book was a 10. This book is filled with scams that will have you laughing and shaking your head." "Perfect revenge... I absolutely loved this book! im usually into "vampire" books but i decided to try something different for a change and so i picked this book and i couldnt put it down!" "Bad Boyz, Bad Boyz..whatcha gonna do?... This book was great read. I actually stayed up until 3am this morning reading the book (resulting in lack of sleep last night and lack of focus today at work). However it was well worth it." "I loved this angsty read!... I read Her Perfect Revenge in one day, I couldn't put it down. Holy Mackerel was this an emotional ride!"

Pages : 594
Book Description
Juniper After a cult tried to sacrifice me to their wicked God, I went on the run, doing whatever was necessary to survive. Until a demon offered me a deal: give him my soul and he'll help me claim the vengeance I seek. Blood will be spilled, and the monsters I once ran from will soon be running from me. But damning my soul was just the beginning - it's my heart the demon wants next. Zane I've been hunting souls for centuries, but she's the ultimate prize - vicious and feral, with a broken soul as dark as my own. I thought claiming her would be a simple game, but Juniper is far from simple. I chose to follow her on a path drenched with the blood of her enemies, but it's our blood that may be spilled next. As an ancient God wakes from Its slumber, neither of us may survive. Her Soul for Revenge is book 2 in the Souls Trilogy. Although all the books are interconnected, they are stand-alone and can be read in any order. Content Note This book contains sexual scenes, kink/fetish content, horror elements, drug use, scenes of trauma, anxiety, and PTSD, and depictions of "hard" kink/edgeplay. A complete CW can be found in the frontmatter of the book.

Category : History

Pages : 209
Book Description
The world was shocked when Jacqueline Kennedy married Aristotle Onassis in 1968. It would not have been so surprising had the truth of their relationship—which dated back to the 1950s—been known. Jackie knew Ari almost as long as she had known John F. Kennedy—and saw qualities in him (besides money) that she found highly attractive. The five years between her marriages to JFK and Onassis are often overlooked. But it was an incredible period of growth and change for Jackie. How did the world’s most famous woman remain so enigmatic? What was she really like? This book reveals the real Jackie, the one that hid behind her trademark large sunglasses. In this book, you’ll learn about: • Jackie’s lovers—and the one man she regretted not marrying • The secret, second burial of JFK • Her evolution from “political wife Jackie” into “nightclubbing, party girl Jackie” • Her own near death in 1967 • Her influence on pop art, fashion, and design

Enter Wick Webster, his archenemy. Nothing would provoke my ex more than to see me moving on with the one guy he hates most, so that’s exactly what I plan to do. The only hitch in my brilliant scheme is Wick himself. He’s just gotta be all love-not-war and peace-is-the-only-way. He’s more concerned about helping me heal than seeking my sweet revenge.

The damn guy is making me fall for him.
