HOSTILE

She spent ten years building the perfect revenge.

He never knew he was the target.

 

Megan Hale clawed her way out of Savannah society with nothing but grief, ambition, and a promise to never be powerless again. Now she’s the brilliant founder of Hale Capital, quietly orchestrating a hostile takeover of the Aldridge empire—the same dynasty that destroyed her family and shattered her life a decade earlier.

 

Wyatt Aldridge inherited Manhattan’s most powerful commercial real estate empire four months ago. He expects pressure from investors, competitors, and his board. He does not expect Megan.

 

The girl he never forgot.

The woman now dismantling his company from the inside.

 

As hidden acquisitions tighten around the Aldridge empire, old secrets begin surfacing alongside a truth far more dangerous than either of them anticipated: the betrayal that destroyed them may not have come from where Megan always believed it did.

 

Now every boardroom negotiation feels like foreplay. Every shared room becomes a battlefield. And the closer Megan gets to destroying Wyatt, the more impossible it becomes to ignore the devastating pull that never died between them.

 

Because some hostile takeovers aren’t about money.

 

They’re about revenge.

Power.

And the one person you were never supposed to love again.
