"Tristan! Help!" I called out his name again. It was not a scream but a command. He didn't even flinch. "You know the rules, Juniper," he said, his voice fearfully calm. "I don't touch you. Don't use a fall to trick me into breaking those rules." .... But this mess is over. I'm done playing love with him. I'm returning to the Vangough seat. And as for the man who was allergic to my touch, he's just about to find out how much it hurts when I finally let go-and take my empire with me. Tristan wants a divorce. But I'll give him a battle he will never be able to endure.

This book is dedicated to all the underestimated ones, the ones who live in the shadows, whose strength is mistaken for fragility. To those who have learned to navigate worlds that were never built for them, finding their power not in the spotlight, but in the quiet resilience of their own spirit. It is for the young women who find themselves in circumstances that demand more than they were ever prepared for, yet who rise to meet those challenges with a ferocity born of necessity. May you always remember that the world often misjudges the depth of a person's will, the sharpness of their intellect, and the unyielding nature of their resolve. To the fighters, the survivors, and the strategists who operate unseen, crafting their own destinies in the face of overwhelming odds. This is for you, and for the truth that vulnerability is often a carefully constructed mask, hiding a strength that can shatter the most powerful of illusions. To my own personal sources of strength, whose unwavering support has been the quiet foundation upon which all my creative endeavors are built, thank you.
