Villain — Jackie Wang

Homeless. Broken. Outcast. Ryder is an ex-con fueled by one thing: revenge. His target: his enemy's only daughter, a prissy billionaire heiress. His new pawn. If he can win over Cally, he might just have a shot at getting his life back. Jaded. Paranoid. Exhausted. Cally is sick of people using her to get closer to her dad. Reeling from her recent breakup to an obsessive, stalker boyfriend, she's naturally suspicious when a hot stranger strikes up a conversation with her at a bar. She doesn't trust him; she doesn't trust anyone anymore, and she's not about to let him get inside her head. Cally won't open up unless Ryder reveals his dark secrets and confesses to his crimes. Ryder won't rest until Cally helps him bring down her own father. Ryder's all-consuming need for vengeance will be his downfall unless Cally can bring him out of the shadows, back into the light.
