Empire High Betrayal

A Note From Ivy


I’ve had so much fun reliving high school. Well…in some ways at least. The last few chapters of this book wrecked me. I knew what needed to happen, but I was still sobbing at my keyboard for days writing and editing the end of this book. For everyone who has already read The Hunted Series, you knew going into these books that Matthew Caldwell was single as an adult. And I hate that tragedy was part of his journey.

My heart is broken.

But I truly believe that broken hearts can heal. Matt healed Brooklyn’s heart. And there is someone out there that will heal Matt’s in the future.

Yes, the future!! We’re skipping ahead to find Matt’s happily ever after. It’ll take place right after This is Love in the reading order. So if you haven’t read The Hunted and Light to My Darkness series yet, make sure to catch up today. Plus seeing adult James is going to have you dying to see adult Matt too.

Matt. Oh my heart. All I know about Matthew Caldwell is that he deserves his happily ever after. And it’s coming. I promise.
