Seven years ago, Emma made the worst business decision of her life—she sold Marcus Chen's revolutionary tech concept for pocket change, never imagining the awkward college student would transform it into a billion-dollar empire. Now her own startup is drowning, and the only investor willing to save it is the man whose idea she betrayed. Marcus says it's just business, but the way he looks at her across the conference table suggests this acquisition is deeply personal. As he systematically dismantles everything she's built, Emma realizes he hasn't forgotten what she did—and he's been waiting years for payback. But when the lines between revenge and desire begin to blur, she discovers the real cost of her betrayal might be her heart.
