He planned to use me. Not to get me pregnant. Now he wants to claim us both. One night. That’s all it was supposed to be.
I clawed my way out from under a father and three brothers who ran my life, and built a career in a company full of men who love to underestimate me.
I answer to no one now and I don’t intend to start. Then Liam Stone walks in. Gorgeous. Calculating. Angling for the same future I’ve bled for.
Men like him don’t make a move without an agenda, and they never play fair. So while the whole office swoons, I fight him where it counts. In the boardroom.
The trouble is, that one reckless night already happened before I understood what he really wanted from me. And now it’s catching up with me. He came to New York for revenge.
I was just the leverage he never planned on wanting. I don’t need saving. I need control—it’s the only way I’ve ever protected the people I love.
And I won’t lose myself to any man, no matter what he offers. I’ve spent my whole life making sure no man could own me. Liam Stone doesn’t take no for an answer.
Only one of us walks away from this intact.
