Emily Hayes had spent weeks fighting to keep control. Of her company. Of her emotions. Of herself. But as she sat in Liam’s penthouse, staring at the phone Blackwood had just hung up on, she realized something. This war? It wasn’t about business anymore. It wasn’t even about revenge. It was personal. Blackwood wanted to destroy her. Ruin her. Break her from the inside out. And she wasn’t about to let that happen. She was done playing defense. Now? Now, she was ready to strike. WHEN THE HUNTER BECOMES THE HUNTED Liam stood across from her, arms crossed, watching her carefully. "You’re thinking about going after him," he said. Emily didn’t answer right away. Because the truth? She wasn’t just thinking about it. She was planning it. She met Liam’s gaze, her voice steady.
