The Bride Wore Revenge

Lorraine Hall

Hewashandsome. Outrageously so, really.

It was the sharp angles, the aristocratic nose, the dark eyes that were no doubt reflective of the depths of hell he’d crawled out of.

No doubt the devil was this attractive as well, when he wanted to be.

Get out!Lynna’s brain seemed to shout at her. But her feet were resolutely rooted to the spot, her heartbeat kicking up as Athan’s expression went from one of shock to a slow, sly smile.

“I know exactly what we’ll do,” he said, his voice dark.Like the devil himself, she told herself. Resolutely. And it wasworrythat had her heartbeat picking up, not anything else.

Particularly when it sounded like he was bringing her into thewe. That was ridiculous. Surely he meant some royal we that had nothing to do with her and she needed toleave. Now.

But his attention seemed solely on her. A kind of demonic tractor beam she was incapable of escaping.

“It seems you’ll have to marry me instead.”

CHAPTER ONE

“Youdon’thaveto keep taking this job.”

Lynna Carew continued to assemble her brownie sundae as a last hurrah before she traveled to Mykonos for a job. Her coworkers—and friends—were all on video chat as she worked.

The four of them made up Your Girl Friday. Freelance assistants who operated with the upmost discretion. They assisted the richest of the rich with different aspects of their lives, Irinka managed personal affairs, Maude handled the rehabilitation and management of the elaborate grounds of ancient estates, and Augusta, better known as Auggie, was a jill-of-all-trades, and oftentimes the driving force behind the business.

And of course, her friends were right in this instance. She didn’t have to keep taking this annual job, as Irinkaalwaysreminded her. But Lynna would take it, as she always did, just the same.

“I feel like we’ve been over this,” Lynna said, adding the homemade chocolate sauce she always kept stocked in the fridge.

“We just don’t get it,” Auggie groused. “Youhatehim. You complain about this job every time. And we all know he’s hiring you just to be an ass.”

He was indeed doing it just to be an ass. That’s what Athan Akakios did best, in Lynna’s opinion. Well, maybe not best. Hisbestskill was being a backstabbing villain. Theassjust came naturally along with that.
