Where Leo Died

122 days sober. Four months pregnant. One name that changes everything.

Olivia Parker wakes up every morning, choosing not to drink. Every night, she feels the baby fighting. Alive despite the vodka, despite being conceived in violence, despite every reason not to survive.

The doctors say fetal alcohol syndrome is likely. Linda says keep the baby anyway. Olivia doesn't know what she says. She just knows she can't go back to who she was.

Then Detective Smith calls with the DNA results. The man who raped her isn't nameless anymore.

Tyler Carrington. Billionaire's son. Her worst nightmare with a name.

Olivia could stay quiet. Keep her head down. Raise the baby in safety and hope Tyler never finds out she exists. That's what smart people do when they're powerless. But Olivia failed to save Leo. She won't fail again.

So she does what she's always done when the world falls apart: she studies. Not to escape this time. Not to prove she's better than her father. To find Tyler Carrington's weakness. To find the crack in his mother's empire.

Her McKinsey skills haven't vanished. The girl who analyzed Fortune 500 companies is still in there, underneath the trauma and the shame. And when she discovers what the Carringtons are hiding, she faces a choice that will either give this baby a future or cost Olivia everything she's fought to rebuild.

The compass has been spinning for years, the needle searching for north. Now it's steady. Now she knows which way to go.

Books 1-2 were survival. Book 3 is the fight.
