Evelyn Carter was a name that struck fear and admiration in the business world. A self-made billionaire, she had built her empire from the ground up, shattering glass ceilings and crushing anyone who dared stand in her way. No man, no corporation, no enemy could break her.
And yet, she had been blind to the one who could.
She had given her heart-something more valuable than her wealth-to Liam Donovan, the only man who had ever made her feel something beyond ambition. He was charming, intelligent, and supportive-or so she thought.
"You make me want to be a better man, Eve," he had whispered one night, his fingers tracing delicate patterns down her spine, sending shivers through her body. She had believed him. She had let herself believe in love, in a future where she didn't always have to fight.
Until the moment he took everything.
The betrayal had come swift and brutal. One day, she was at the top, and the next, she was drowning-her company stolen, her reputation tarnished, her empire reduced to ruins. And Liam? He stood at the helm of it all, watching with a smirk as the woman who had given him everything fell.
But Evelyn Carter was not a woman who stayed down for long.
From the ashes of her former life, she would rise again-stronger, fiercer, more ruthless than ever. Love had made her weak once. It would never happen again.
And this time, when she faced Liam Donovan, he would learn that betraying Evelyn Carter was the last mistake he would ever make.
