Summary: (Sequel to You Failed, Jack) After having her newborn daughter snatched from her, Lisa Reisert goes hunting for the man that she believed to be dead. But neither will give up without a fight…
Prologue
She had lain there and watched him saunter out the door. He had been clutching her only reason for living through the last several months. After what he had done to her, she had wanted to die. But somehow, the child growing inside her had urged her to carry on.
She had extensive surgery done to replace her shattered knees. Of course, the surgical scars were not the only scars from their latest altercation. Her chest was covered in his handiwork. It was a miracle that she had survived the surface wounds, not to mention the emotional ones.
Jackson Rippner had somehow managed to cheat death and had taken away what he had given her that terrible night. He had come to kill her and left her broken, battered, near death, and with child.
Now, nine months later, he had just wandered into her hospital room as she was giving birth, and kidnapped her child. Her newborn baby had been carried away from her by a knife-wielding murderer.
It did not matter to her that he was the child's father. He was only using their daughter as leverage to keep her from ratting him out. She knew it, but she knew that she could not risk letting her child die because he was a cruel bastard.
He had already threatened to kill her daughter twice and she was scarcely a few minutes old. There was no telling what he would do if she angered him.
Jackson had claimed to want her back, but she knew it was not because of love. There was no love between them—just pure, unadulterated hate. After all, he had tried to kill her a few months back after raping her. There was no way that she would ever forgive him.
She was going to get her daughter back, no matter what.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned – or in Lisa Reisert's case – a woman whose child had been stolen.
He had gotten away from her last time by 'dying', but this time he would get what was coming to him. The police could not help her in the least. She was on her own when it came to dealing with this monster.
Which was absolutely fine with her. He needed to suffer for his crimes and she wanted to be the one to cause him pain. It was payback time.
Author's Notes:
Just a quick little teaser.

I finally went back to this story and did some editing. I (hopefully) fixed all of the minor mistakes. There was some rewording and new sentances added, but no major plot changes. Enjoy!
