So Cruel

There is no word for what Amos was to me.

The nephew of my father's live-in groundskeeper, the quiet dark-eyed boy grew up beside me. We were always together. But never quite friends.

As a child, I taunted him. Mercilessly.

As a teen, I flirted with him. Recklessly.

As a young woman, I thought I would probably one day break his heart.

But I never get the chance. The night of his uncle's funeral, Amos abandons me. Without a word, without a trace, he disappears. And leaves me absolutely reeling.

Years later, when my father dies and my life crumbles around me, Amos suddenly reappears where I least expect him – on the other side of the desk at my first ever job interview in Toronto. Once poor and painfully shy, he's now a powerful billionaire CEO: ruthless, obscenely wealthy, with shoulders that barely fit into his exquisitely tailored suit. He – and the personal assistant job he offers – are the only things that can save me now.

But Amos isn't interested in saving me. He wants revenge. And the reversal of our fortunes has handed him the perfect opportunity.

There is no word for what Amos was to me. But there's a word for what he is to me now.
Cruel.
So, so cruel.
 

So Cruel is part one of Catarina and Amos' duet. It's an angsty and dark billionaire romance with a deeply toxic, obsessive, morally grey billionaire hero.
