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?

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

Tiel's vision swam, the glow of the apartment ceiling light flickering in and out of focus as he lay crumpled on the cold floor. The metallic tang of blood filled the air, mixing with the distant echo of hurried voices. Pain radiated through his chest, sharp and unrelenting, as though his body was rejecting itself.

"Please! Please tell me he's going to be okay!"

"Mam, please stay calm, we need to take your accounts for the report."

Tiel tried to push himself upright, but his limbs felt heavy, useless. Fear slithered into his chest, tightening around his ribs like a vice. What was happening to him? Why couldn't he move? His breaths came fast and shallow, each one catching on the rising panic clawing its way to the surface.

"And then what happened?"

"I got scared! I was afraid! He was so strong!"

"So you shot four? You said he was your son..."
