SEQUEL to Ms. Beaumont Three years ago, Annabelle Rivers made the hardest decision of her life-she walked away from Eleanor Beaumont. No goodbye that fixed things. No more chances. Just distance...and silence. Now, Annabelle has built something new in New York. A life that finally feels right. Alongside Lucy and Juliet, she's carved a future far removed from the chaos she left behind-working in child protective services, fighting every day to give vulnerable children the safety she once struggled to find herself. Eleanor? She became a ghost Annabelle learnt not to chase. Until she isn't. When a high-profile case lands on Annabelle's desk, it pulls her into a world of power, money, and secrets-one that requires the involvement of a private security firm known for handling things quietly. Beau & co. Professional. Untouchable. Controlled. Run by Eleanor Beaumont herself. Neither of them knew the other would be there. Neither of them were prepared for what it would feel like to stand in the same room again. Three years hasn't softened anything-it's sharpened it. Because the truth is, they're not the same people they used to be. Annabelle is stronger, harder, no longer the girl who needs saving. And Eleanor...is even more dangerous in the way she carries herself now. Forced to work together to protect a child caught in the middle of something far bigger than anyone expected, they find themselves walking a line between past and present-between what they were, and what they could become again. But some things don't stay buried. Some choices don't stay in the past. And when secrets start to unravel, one question lingers between them: Was walking away the thing that saved them...or the thing that broke them for good?

Naturally, she's been bent out of luck when it comes to romantic relationships. So, when her friends encourage her to jokingly put in an application for a new reality dating show - she definitely didn't like it when production called her weeks later to offer her the position.

Ready to put her love life on national television, all seems to go smoothly until she's introduced to the rest of the cast. To her dismay, she's met face to face with an almost ex-failed-hook-up-slash mutual friend of hers - Emily Sinclair. Notorious for being unserious, unfaithful, and irritating as hell - Cara is livid to find out she's going to have to spend six weeks attempting to find the love of her life while ignoring the only mistake she's ever encountered.

Sometimes we're not even fully aware of how similar hate and love really are. How closely they sit together, how thin the line is between them. One wrong word, one wrong choice, one moment of fear or anger, and you cross it without even realizing you've done so. That's how it had alwags been with Casey Miller and Olivia Lordan. They didn't hate each other for no reason. There were reasons, plenty of them, actually. Old wounds that never healed right, memories that calcified instead of fading, words spoken too young and carried for too long. But were those reasons valid enough? That was the question no one ever asked out loud. Because validity is subjective. Pain doesn't measure itself against intent. Trauma doesn't care how old you were, or what you meant to do. It just exists, heavy and unrelenting, shaping you whether you want it to or not. Everyone has flaws. Everyone has demons they fight in private. Some people turn inward and rot quietly. Some people explode. Some people run. Some people stay and harden. None of it is clean, and none of it is fair. And maybe that was the cruelest part for them. Not the hate. Not the anger. Not even the silence. But the fact that, once upon a time, it had been love, or something dangerously close to it, and that was what made everything else hurt so much more.

⚠️this book is like 80% smuttt again if not 18+ don't click pls⚠️ Innocent. Sweet. A perfect angel. At least that's what they're supposed to believe. Isabella comes home at twenty-one with a smile too pure to question and a hunger sharp enough to cut glass. She doesn't run from devils. She tempts them. Provokes them. Dares them to lose control. And Valtora is the perfect devil for her. She knows exactly who Valtora is- off-limits, untouchable, a liability written in blood. A woman who built her empire on discipline and fear, who enforced the rules with violence and never allowed herself a weakness. Until Isabella. Isabella doesn't want protection. She wants to be chosen. She wants to belong to one woman and one woman only- the one she's dreamed of kneeling for long before she ever came home. She wants to be broken. Claimed. Ruined. And she knows Valtora will never look at her the way she wants... unless she makes her. So she comes back with a motive. A plan. A slow, deliberate game designed to make even the strongest devil crack. Valtora has no mercy. No softness. No room for mistakes. Until Isabella walks back into her life-grown, fearless, and far too aware of the power she holds. In a city ruled by men, Valtora is the devil they answer to. Isabella was forbidden. Off-limits. Untouchable. Valtora swore she'd never want her. Never need her. Never claim what could destroy her empire. But desire doesn't ask permission. The line between protection and possession blurs. Control turns into craving. And kneeling stops being a game. Because once Valtora decides Isabella is hers, there is no world where she lets her go. Not alive. Not breathing. Not ever. Kneeling isn't submission. It's a promise. And Valtora always collects what's owed. Will attraction, obsession, or even love be enough to stand strong in a world where love is seen as a weakness?
