To escape the wedding of her backstabbing cousin and ex-boyfriend, Hazel Vance seeks oblivion at a masquerade ball. A passionate, anonymous encounter leaves her with a son, the only clue to his father a pair of striking, violet-blue eyes. Three years later, she becomes the executive assistant to Liam Sterling, an influential and notoriously difficult CEO whose gaze feels hauntingly familiar. But Liam wants nothing to do with his new assistant; he is obsessed with finding a woman who vanished into the night, the one ghost he can’t forget.

Chapter 201 - Betrayal and Broken Loyalty

My informant's stroke of genius installing surveillance software on all company devices meant I could orchestrate my revenge from this computer screen, watching my targets like pieces on a chessboard.
