No one in the house found rest that night. Not Sophia. Not Ethan. The only one who had a decent night’s sleep was Carla.

His thoughts stirred over strategies, tactics, and countermeasures—ways to keep his house, his business, and his life in order. Because Alex had returned, found a way into his life once again.Alex—the one person who had been, and would always be, his greatest competition. In business, in status, in life.
