REVENGER

He has hunted Merrick Holdings for fifteen years. He has guarded its heiress for twelve months. He does not know the second sentence is the same war. 

Rook Calder is the most dangerous enemy the firm ever made — and the only reason he has not already burned it all down is fifteen years of holding a leash on himself. He notes the same SUV three days running. He notes McLaine Shaw's gait half a second slower than yesterday. He does not know McLaine is Hollister Merrick's daughter and sole heir, the cold strategist who has spent two years building the case that ends her father — while quietly keeping Rook alive on the inside without telling him she knew his name. 

When Hollister sees through her, she runs, and takes Rook with her. 

 He does not get safer. He gets aimed — and she is the only thing his chaos points at without wanting to destroy. 

All four couples on-page. Will the firm survive?
