Infinity Returns: Living Well is the Best Revenge

by Sandy Malone

Her design made him CEO.
He gave her promotion to his adopted sister.
He never once asked who she really was.
For two years, Beth Johnson has given Connor Sterling everything. The Infinity, the biggest thing his company had made in a decade, and the reason he is CEO. A strawberry cake, delivered warm, every other Friday. Eighteen months as his fiancée, with a modest ring and a careful inch of distance he never once closed.
Then his adopted sister, Serena, comes home, and Beth finally sees the smile Connor has never aimed at her. The fair he calls childish when Beth asks, he agrees to for Serena ten seconds later. By Friday, Serena has Beth’s promotion, Beth’s proposal, and Beth’s office.
She’ll get over it, Connor decides. She always does.
Not this time.
Beth quits. She takes back every design she ever licensed to him. And she makes one phone call, to Ryder Connor’s fiercest rival, her childhood sweetheart, and the man who has been waiting two years for her to come home.
Because the girl Connor never bothered to know isn’t Beth Johnson at all. She’s a Carter, working under her mother’s maiden name. Ryder has always known exactly who she is. He knows her favorite food, her favorite wine, and that she has never once been properly kissed. And he has no intention of letting her go twice.
Connor is about to learn that the best revenge is living well.
