Introduction

Seven years ago, Emerald Hutton had left her family and friends behind for high school in New York City, cradling her broken heart in her hands, to escape just only one person. Her brother's best friend, whom she loved from the day he'd saved her from bullies at the age of seven. Broken by the boy of her dreams and betrayed by her loved ones, Emerald had learned to bury the pieces of her heart in the deepest corner of her memories.
Until seven years later, she has to come back to her hometown after finishing her college. The place where now the cold-hearted stone of a billionaire resides, whom her dead heart once used to beat for.
Scarred by his past, Achilles Valencian had turned into the man everyone feared. The scorch of his life had filled his heart with bottomless darkness. And the only light that had kept him sane, was his Rosebud. A girl with freckles and turquoise eyes he'd adored all his life. His best friend's little sister.
After years of distance, when the time has finally come to capture his light into his territory, Achilles Valencian will play his game. A game to claim what's his.
Will Emerald be able to distinguish the flames of love and desire, and charms of the wave that had once flooded her to keep her heart safe? Or she will let the devil lure her into his trap? Because no one ever could escape his games. He gets what he wants. And this game is called...
The trap of Ace.

    I really wish they would quit referring to college as high school, using words with apostrophes in instances where we don't talk like that. the description of the horse racing scene was cringe worthy, they don't call it a game, there are multiple races, no more than 20 horses in the field and it isn't called an auditorium, it's called the stands, also the horses done have 1 word names like Jordan or Cage. so far the story itself is good. I'm just cringing at these few things.

    He could've just let her confess and turned her down. He could've said that she was too young or something. He really didn't have to drag the sister into it at all.

    It is a great story with some twists and surprises. I couldn't put the book down.

    Some of you have a good point that she was abused, but I don't think it was as much abuse as it was neglect from the family. Ya know, having been in an abusive relationship, my ex was a violent narcissist and Ace is hitting ALL of Red Flags here... not sure I will continue to read, but I'll try... (besides the wrong contracted words and naming an office as a cabin, we are not on a ship, nor in the woods. And other words misplaced in sentences, is driving my editing brain crazy)

    Feels like she is metally adused by her family and everyone. A 15 year old girl and no was or is on her side. They all just play for Ace. I feel sorry for her, this is not a great romance story at all 😞

    he was on drugs..I had to skip ahead it was irritating to wait THAT long for something so simple to be said ..then all of her friends and family are on his side because HE is in pain from HER rejection...I get that she was 15 but they could've gone to the adults in the family and asked what to do about it...they could've all sat her down and let her know...she needed a day so in her own decision whether she still wanted him in her life or not...not playing a shitty mind game on her making her think he f*d her sister on the balcony while we all know that they heard her heart wrenching sobs...he knows he royally f*d up but they're all gaslighting her into thinking she needs to forgive him...no she does not!!! he made his bed he gets to deal with the consequences
