“That’s why I need to tell you, Balfour, she’s dangerous, incredibly so. Ivy’s kidnapping had to be her doing. I even suspect that Alyssa’s fall down the stairs wasn’t an accident at all!”

Balfour closed his eyes briefly.

From the moment Olivia decided to lay it all out, she knew where her loyalties lay. Choosing between Balfour and Mara was a no-brainer for anyone with half a brain.
