Sie beanspruchen.Dann werde ich mit meiner neuen Errungenschaft vor ihrem Ex, Lawrence Wellington, prahlen.Dem Mann, den ich vernichten will. Sobald ich mein Ziel erreicht habe, brauche ich Lina nicht mehr. Sie wird der einfachste und ... vergnüglichste Teil meiner Rache sein.Es wird keine Schwierigkeit sein, sie so zu umgarnen, dass sie einen Mann verlässt, der alt genug ist, um ihr Vater zu sein. Und sollte es darauf ankommen, schrecke ich auch vor Gewalt nicht zurück. LinaOran Byrne hat seine Absichten klar gemacht.Er wird alles tun, um mich zu bekommen. Aber er ist genau wie jedes andere reiche, arrogante Arschloch.Er kennt mich nicht.Alles, was er sieht, ist ein hübsches Objekt, das man besitzen und wegwerfen kann. Sie unterschätzen mich alle. Es gibt einen bestimmten Grund, warum ich in den Olympus Club zurückgekehrt bin, und ich werde mich von nichts aufhalten lassen.Schon gar nicht von einem aalglatten Kriminellen mit Arsen auf der Zunge. Wenn Oran erwartet, dass ich ihm in die geöffneten Arme falle, wird er eine herbe Enttäuschung erleben. * Hinterhältige Verführung ist das vierte Buch der Byrne-Brüder-Reihe. Jedes Buch der Reihe handelt von einem anderen Paar und kann als eigenständiger Roman mit einem Happy End gelesen werden, aber für maximalen Lesegenuss solltest du die empfohlene Reihenfolge einhalten. Als dunkler Liebesroman mit Themen für Erwachsene ist Hinterhältige Verführung möglicherweise nicht für jeden geeignet. Anmerkung der Autorin: Feinde zu Liebenden war noch nie so wunderbar verführerisch wie die Geschichte von Oran und Lina. Mutig, wild entschlossen und rücksichtslos geraten die beiden immer wieder aneinander, und das Ergebnis ist auf die köstlichste Art explosiv. Mach dich auf die sexuelle Spannung gefasst, die dich auf jeder Seite fesseln wird!Für alle, die mich noch nicht kennen: Ich schreibe, was ich als "Mafia light" bezeichnen würde. Meine Helden sind hart gesottene Kriminelle mit einer sanften Seite für ihre Heldinnen. In meinen Büchern mag es Gewalt und Grausamkeit geben, aber nie zwischen den Hauptfiguren. Viel Spaß!
