“Tristan… stop… I’m preg—” The word dissolved into a moan as he curled his fingers and drove them harder. “Already dreaming about spreading your legs for him, huh?” He didn’t hear her. Or he didn’t care. (Tell him. Just say it. But if I do… will he keep me only because of the baby? Or will he hate me more for tying him down?) “Was that why you were so desperate to get away?” He sped up his rhythm, driving his fingers faster and harder until the room echoed with wet, slapping sounds, and her slickness dripped down her thighs. “I'm going to fix you.” —Tristan Cole gave Lyra Quinn three things on the day he ended their marriage: divorce papers, another woman’s hand in his, and a lifetime of regret waiting to happen. He didn’t know Lyra was carrying his child. He didn’t know the woman he called “too much” was the city's most sought-after crisis negotiator—the woman billion-dollar companies called when they were on the verge of collapse. And he certainly didn’t know that walking away from her would place her in the path of Laurent Crawford, the ruthless billionaire whose empire is falling apart. Laurent needs Lyra to save his company. Lyra needs the job to rebuild her life. Neither expects the dangerous attraction that grows between them. But when the crisis threatening Laurent’s empire begins reaching into Lyra’s own past, she realizes someone has been playing a much bigger game than either of them knew. Tristan threw away the woman he couldn’t appreciate; Laurent knows better. But loving Laurent may cost her everything. And this time, The Last Call has nowhere left to run.
