Rhode had had those same eyes, except they had been kind, quick to smile, always in search of the next thrill, luring men into her orbit like a spider did with her web.Her gut twisted into that insidious, painful knot that crept into her when she didn’t make a conscious effort to turn her mind to something else, something other than Rhode and that night.It didn’t help. Nothing did. But amidst the shock of seeing him again, something else penetrated through with an insidious clarity as he neared her.Set against the severity of his face, the lush lashes and the glittering eyes stood out like an oasis in a desert. making the man impossibly beautiful and darkly stunningHis scent was alien, yet alluring.Kassandra breathed in a lungful before she could stop, a feverish shiver taking hold of her limbs that had nothing to do with her wet dress."Darian, I—"Long fingers crawled up her nape into her scalp, tilting her up while the other hand clasped her jaw loosely.He studied her every f

With a grunt, Kassandra pushed him back, hating the fact that he had muddled with her head with so little effort. She couldn’t let on how rattled she was by his presence, how out of balance she felt when he touched her, even innocently.She breathed in roughly, gritting her jaw so tight that she would need to see a dentist soon. There should have been smoke coming out of her ears too. First of all, I’m not sixteen anymore, so stop calling me a brat."Secondly, not that I have to explain myself to you, I know how Romanos is doing. I speak to his nurse every day. "She instantly regretted her words when she saw the disbelief in his gaze.She walked to the mini fridge in the corner, needing the time away from his scrutiny to compose herself. She grabbed a bottle and gulped the water down so fast that her throat burned at the chill.And yet, as he watched her from the other side of the room, she could feel the heat pooling under her skin, an unnamed charge building up in the room...This

Launch a line from a top design house in the world? As his wife, she has nothing to complain about.His wife?He had to be joking; he had always liked making her miserable!"You cannot see that boy anymore, Kassandra."No more trips to New York...Romanos allows you far too much financial freedom, but not anymore.Kassandra met his gaze, and everything within her stilled.Darian Timandros didn’t give his word or make a promise easily. When he did,Fear struck her so hard that her knees shuddered under her.He instantly moved forward to catch her, but Kassandra jerked away from him. "Don’t come near me," she whispered.She grabbed the door to stop it from sliding to the floor in a puddle. She wanted to scream her denial, but what left her mouth was a soft gasp.He would never forgive her, or himself, for Rhode’s death; never even give her a chance. would punish them both for the rest of their lives.And to even contemplate being his wife in the true sense of the word...Perversely, she

Having known how cunningly perceptive Kal was, Darian decided to leave. It had been a miracle in itself that Kal had—showing what Romanos would have called uncharacteristic wisdom—left Darian alone after Kassandra’s latest stunt.He didn’t want to discuss Kassandra with him, of all people.Kal’s jaw was already black and blue, and for once, Darian enjoyed the result of his loss of control. "Put some ice on it."Kal stopped him with a hand on his arm. "You’re pushing it too far, Darian.""Leave it alone, Kal." He knew exactly what his friend was talking about.Moving around him, Kal blocked his path. "You went above and beyond what Romanos asked of you. "Wash your hands off."Romanos, to whom he and Kal owed their entire world, had asked for only one thing in return after becoming their salvation when they had been nothing but uneducated thugs.And Darian had failed spectacularly at it. "Have you forgiven yourself for everything you have ever done? Or failed to do so?"All emotion seep

Despite losing her father suddenly in a car accident and being thrust into an unfamiliar world that Romanos and he lived in, he had never seen her morose or down.That same selfishness that he abhorred also lent her a strange strength. It was as if she stood behind a veil that separated her emotions, her very self, from the people around her."So was all that food to please the waiter?""Where are your manners, Darian?""All my finer qualities disappear like a mist when it comes to you, Kassandra.""I was running this afternoon. So all that food is for me. "Darian nodded, understanding the toned lightness of her body. "What happened to walking out of the flat and the job? To let your little lawyer loose on me? "He saw her still for a second before she turned toward him. "I... Philip advised me to not do anything rash.""And you listened." which meant she trusted him, which meant Darian needed to know everything about him.The waiter brought the food, and she grabbed a fork.
