Heart of a Shark : Love for My Ruthless Husband's Brother

Celeste Everhart (18) never expected a second chance—to reclaim her voice, and her fate, and uncover the truths that remained buried in her first life. Once an unwanted heiress sacrificed to the secretive and ruthless Brightwell family, Celeste forced herself to become something she could never imagined herself to be. A shark. Celeste saw a glimpse of what was hidden in the shadows at night and had failed to take her place in the Brightwell family. Or rather they had failed her. With the weight of her past life’s memories, Celeste knows what she would do differently… or so she believes. Yet, the more she navigates through these familiar yet treacherous waters, the more she discovers just how little she truly understands. And in this life, three men from her past emerge in ways she could never have foreseen: Avond Brightwell (28) the man she once loved so deeply that he became her voice and her world. But as hidden layers reveal themselves, Celeste begins to wonder—was Avond the man she thought he was? Or is he something far more dangerous? Tiel Brightwell (22) the one who once despised her, mocked her silence, and later fathered her only child. Now, he seems capable of kindness and perhaps even love, but Celeste can’t forget the pain he caused. Will she forgive him, or will she let go of who she was to destroy him? Even when he had not committed the crimes he committed in the past? Gen Callisto (23) the shadow from her sister’s stories, is a self-made millionaire with a tragedy looming in his future. Drawn to him in unexpected ways, Celeste must decide if she can save him from the darkness, or let him perish with the rest. As Celeste battles between love, loyalty, and the desire for vengeance, she faces a final question: will she remain the person she was before and let her new life take its course? Or will she let the hurt of her past turn her heart cold? After all, what better vengeance than to come back with the heart of a shark? -------- Disclaimer: The story begins with Celeste's first life— so please stay tuned because it will be worth it!

Celeste didn't know exactly what she had expected, but it certainly wasn't a love confession—not from the man who had a pregnant girlfriend, had scared her enough to make her run away, and might have killed Andreas.

He had been trying, albeit for a short time.

He had been sweet, and perhaps it had simply gotten into his mind that he genuinely loved her. But Celeste couldn't imagine someone like him—someone who had to put effort into being kind to her—could possibly feel any romantic feelings.

Frozen, Celeste looked at the handsome man whose expression had begun to slip into one of great sadness.

She swallowed, leaning back against the chair as the silence between them grew. Celeste couldn't deny she had come to care for Tiel, but it was just that—a simple platonic love for the man who tried.

Celeste glanced down, her mind gathering words for a less painful rejection.
