LOGINMyra Benardi has spent her entire life under her father’s control. As the youngest daughter of powerful Angelo Benardi, she knows exactly what is expected of her: obey the family, protect its reputation, and eventually marry the man her father chooses. With Angelo preparing to arrange her future with Damion, Myra realizes she may have only one chance to make a choice that belongs entirely to her. So she secretly puts her name on the Dragon’s List. Nicholas Aspen is known privately as the Dragon—a dangerously seductive man with strict rules, a notorious reputation, and a list of women eager to enter his world. He never expected Angelo Benardi’s sheltered youngest daughter to appear at his door. When Myra arrives early, Nicholas refuses to take advantage of her uncertainty. But before leaving, she shocks him with a kiss he can’t forget. Then she returns for her scheduled nine-o’clock appointment. This time, Myra knows exactly what she wants. One forbidden night is supposed to give her the freedom she has never experienced before returning to the life Angelo planned for her. Instead, Myra discovers a man beneath Nicholas’s dangerous reputation—and Nicholas discovers that Myra is becoming far more than another name on his list. Their attraction quickly becomes something neither can control. But Angelo is already moving forward with his plans for Myra and Damion, unaware that his obedient youngest daughter has begun choosing a life of her own. Myra wanted one secret before surrendering to her future. Nicholas was supposed to be that secret. Instead, he may become the reason she fights for her freedom. Because Myra joined the Dragon’s List expecting temptation. She never expected to steal the Dragon’s heart.

Chapter 55By ChoiceMyraTwo months later.Nicholas was acting strange.Not dangerous strange.Not someone is following us strange.Not there’s another secret family member hiding in Switzerland strange.Just—Nicholas strange.Which might have been worse.He had been looking at his phone all morning.Every time I came near him, he put it down.At breakfast, Chase called.Nicholas answered, listened for approximately eight seconds, then said,“Not now.”And hung up.I stared at him across the kitchen island.“What?”“Nothing.”“Why did you hang up on Chase?”“He was annoying me.”“That’s normal.”“Yes.”“What did he want?”“Nothing.”I narrowed my eyes.Nicholas took a drink of coffee.Too casual.Much too casual.Ash was lying near his chair.Because somewhere during the past eight months, the rule about goats never entering the house had apparently died.Nicholas claimed Ash was only allowed in the mudroom.Ash apparently had not been informed.He was currently asleep beneath the k
Chapter 54The Life AfterMyraSix months later.The first thing I heard was Nicholas yelling at a goat.“Ash!”I opened one eye.Silence.Then—“DROP IT.”I smiled into my pillow.This was going to be good.I climbed out of bed, pulled on Nicholas’s shirt from the chair, and walked barefoot toward the bedroom window.Nothing.Whatever was happening was apparently closer to the barn.Then Nicholas’s voice carried across the property again.“MYRA!”I laughed.That was never good.I headed downstairs.The kitchen was empty.The back door stood open.I stepped outside.And stopped.Nicholas stood in the middle of the yard wearing black dress pants, a white shirt, and no shoes.His tie hung loose around his neck.Ash stood ten feet away.With one of Nicholas’s expensive shoes in his mouth.Amethyst was beside him.Chewing something that looked suspiciously like a sock.I covered my mouth.Nicholas saw me.“Don’t.”I lost it.I bent forward laughing.“Myra.”“I’m sorry.”“No, you’re not.”
Chapter 53MonacoMyraNicholas packed for a three-day trip as if he were relocating to another continent.I stood in the doorway of our bedroom and watched him place another folded shirt into the open suitcase.“You know you’re coming back, right?”He looked at me.“Yes.”“Then why do you have six shirts?”“Options.”“For three days?”“Yes.”“Four pairs of pants?”“Options.”“Three watches?”He stopped.I smiled.“Go ahead.”“What?”“Explain why a human being needs three watches for one weekend.”“One is casual.”“Of course.”“One is for dinner.”“Obviously.”“And one is appropriate for the race.”I nodded solemnly.“I apologize.”“You should.”“I hadn’t considered the emotional needs of the watches.”He stared.I laughed.He went back to packing.This was the first time Nicholas and I were going to spend more than one night apart since everything had ended.Which was ridiculous.We were adults.Healthy adults.Well—mostly healthy.His doctor had cleared him to travel.His incision

chapter three. I really feel bad enough that the Dragon didn’t want to ravish me and I feel even more stupid that I kissed him out of nowhere and told him about my father forcing me into marriage. Maybe it's better I leave and never look back. But part of me wants to go back and force myself on h
