Nefarious
The world knows them as the whiz kids who skyrocketed to fame and fortune with their wildly successful trading company—before they lost it all in a humiliating hostile takeover. Now, bored out of their minds at respectable nine-to-five jobs, the pair plot the demise of everyone who's ever wronged them. Including each other.
Val aims to destroy Geraldo, the man who stole their company. Meanwhile, Dane just wants to get even with Noelle, the woman who publicly dumped him. All he needs to do is woo her back, then break her heart. Easy.
When Geraldo's daughter shows up in an internship program, Val plots to send the girl home to daddy with her ethics compromised. and she ropes Dane in to distract him from a fake romance that's beginning to look too real. Behind a sterling reputation, Val weaves a nefarious plan to ruin Geraldo's daughter, eliminate Noelle, and seduce Dane for herself. But by crossing Dane, she's lit a powder keg, and it's about to go off.

What readers are saying about Nefarious

"This book sucked me in from the beginning. The characters were complex and it was easy to love them one minute, loathe them the next. With all the games, obsessions, and deception in the story I honestly didn’t know how it would end, but I was pleased with how it wrapped up." --Despina Karras

"I am a massive fan of Mary Ann Marlowe and this book did not disappoint. If you are a fan of Dangerous Liaisons, you need to read this book.
This is not a funny, cute romance. This book is filled with power, control and lust. Each character has so many layers that intrigued me from the very first page. I needed to know more about their story, their background and their motivations. As the story progressed, I honestly couldn't predict what was going to happen. It was captivating. There were so many surprises, roles to play, and twists and turns. It was entertaining from start to finish." --Come_read_with_me, Goodreads reviewer -
"Using flashbacks, emails, & multiple points of view, this is one well-named game of chess wrapped up in a book. This could be case study in love vs obsession, how completely power can corrupt, & who is capable of redemption." --Steph, Goodreads reviewer
