No Honourable Compromise

By fair means -- or foul, Verity intended to win

"That seat is mine," she raged when she confronted the overbearing Holt Jepherson. "I intend to have it back!" But instead of doing the honorable thing, Holt took her hand in a mock handshake and accepted the challenge.

It was as if he were daring Verity to do her worst, and she'd never backed down from a challenge in her life--no matter what the consequences....

Hero: Holt Jepherson
