Book excerpt: From USA Today best-selling author Ava Harrison comes an enemies-to-lovers, slow-burn romance with a twist. Trent Aldridge is the devil. Rich. Arrogant. Sinfully handsome. He holds my inheritance in his hands. Twenty-two million dollars I didn't even know about. I met him at a funeral. As one life ended, mine unraveled. Because he has one goal-to ruin me. And Trent Aldridge never loses. My present is gone and my future is in ashes. All because of a past that's not even mine. Control. Power. He has it all now that I'm his maid. He's rude, sarcastic, and well...the hottest man I've ever met. Lust is a dangerous game to play. Where there's smoke, there's fire. And I'm about to be consumed.
