Nemesis is the story of an ordinary man who became the king of the largest slum in Rio, the head of a drug cartel, and perhaps Brazil's most wanted criminal. It's a gripping tale of gold hunters and evangelical pastors, bent police and rich-kid addicts, quixotic politicians and drug lords with math degrees. Traversing through rain forests and high-security prisons, filthy slums and glittering shopping malls, this is also the story of how change came to Brazil.

Marissa Spencer's world has been turned upside down since waking up one morning with magical powers. She has no idea where they came from, and controlling them has not been easy. With the help of her sexy PI boss, Jack Slade, whom Marissa has always had a crush on, she will have to fight a battle for power that began before she was born. Along the way, she'll discover a family she didn't know she had, an inheritance she may not want, a strength she never knew was within her, and a love she'd only dreamed of.

In "Nemesis" si intrecciano quattro storie. La storia di Antonio Francisco Bonfim Lopes, giovane brasiliano onesto, gran lavoratore e padre premuroso, che, per pagare le cure della sua bambina affetta da una rara malattia, non riesce a trovare altra via se non quella del mondo della droga, dove diventa Nem, boss dei boss di Rocinha, e infine l'uomo più ricercato di tutto il Brasile.

Justice expects to meet a naïve college man but instead meets a man who is a natural born boss. From the start, things go sour and she starts to wonder if she can even do business with him at all. Besides the sexual tension between the two, their attitudes clash, and things unravel fast. Not the one to let a bit of attitude get in the way of business, Zahir doesn’t let Justice faze him. After finding his girlfriend Stacey in a compromising position, he cuts all ties with her and moves on, ready to focus on his business ventures.

Meet Justice, the beautiful bombshell with a slick mouth and the attitude to match it. Running a drug empire is hard enough, but try being a female while doing so. In a profession that’s mostly men, she has no problem stepping up and getting it done in her stiletto heels and a Glock on her hip. Anytime she walks in the room, people notice her, and there’s nothing but respect. When the plug dies, and she has to meet with his son, she finds out that there may be more to life than being the head of an empire.

Ja, ich weiß, es ist nicht das 18. Jahrhundert. Ich bin nur ein wenig besessen von historischen Liebesromanen, das ist alles. Und von Büchern im Allgemeinen. Deshalb bin ich auf dem Weg zu einem Vorstellungsgespräch für meinen Traumjob in der Bibliothek, als Adrian Westfields schafähnlicher Hund mich umwirft und ich im Schlamm lande. Ich komme also zu spät, bin schmutzig und verpatze mein Vorstellungsgespräch – nur um dann das Angebot meines Lebens zu bekommen.

Ein spunkiger Prinz will mich dafür bezahlen, dass ich ihm beibringe, wie man unter Wasser zehn Minuten lang die Luft anhält? Ich bin dabei. Aber ich bin ein Zauberer, kein Stuntberater. Mein rekordverdächtiger Tauchgang ohne Luft war ein Trick. Das kann ich meinem Mandanten natürlich nicht antun. Nicht, wenn ich meine Miete bezahlen will. Und mich in meine hinreißende Klientin zu verlieben kommt nicht in Frage, also bin ich entschlossen, Abstand zu halten. Zumindest, bis er mir anbietet, mich im Bett zu trainieren.

Ich habe mit meinem Trainer geschlafen. Und wie sich herausstellt, bin ich nicht die Einzige. Anscheinend schläft er mit allen seinen Kundinnen. Also blockiere ich ihn, denn das Letzte, was ich brauche, ist ein weiteres A-Loch in meinem Leben. Besonders ein so unwiderstehlich charmantes und gut aussehendes wie Ashton Vancroft. Der Haken? Drei Jahre später verloben sich unsere besten Freunde, Emma und Marcus, und wir sind beide gezwungen, bei ihrer Hochzeit in Florida nett zueinander zu sein.
