Three years ago, Lena was humiliated and abandoned by her bar-manager fiancé for another woman.

When her ex and his cruel new lover mock the "pathetic waitress" sent to serve them, they have no idea she is the very mistress of the bar they beg to please. Now, she holds all the power. But Caius has been watching her far longer than she knows… and his devotion is deadly. Revenge has never been this satisfying—or this dangerous.
