Empire of Redemption (The Alderidge Empire #2)

I told myself I was over her.

Five years. That’s how long I’ve spent burying every memory of Isla Carrington—the way she kissed me, the way she left me.

Now she’s back, and thanks to my father’s will, we’re forced to work together.

Every damn day. She’s all sharp comebacks and tight skirts, looking like a sin I can’t afford to repeat.

I should keep my distance.

Ignore the way my hands itch to touch her.

Pretend I don’t see the way she still looks at me when she thinks I’m not watching.

But I won’t.

Because when our biggest rival sets out to destroy everything we’re building?

She’s the only one I trust to fight beside me.

And the more we fight it, the more I remember—how she tastes, how she feels, how she unravels beneath me.

This time, she won’t just be in my office.

She’ll be in my bed.

And I’m never letting her go again.
