This is why when he discovers a woman hiding in his office, listening to some important and extremely confidential information, his first instinct is to keep her ‘prisoner’ for a few days while trying to discover who is this beautiful ‘spy’. She is Phoebe Stone and she is just doing her job cleaning offices, without knowing she is ‘in the wrong place at the wrong time’. So, in a matter of minutes, against her wishes, she will start a thrilling adventure, next to a stunning but frightening man. This adventure will change both their lives forever. (Excerpt) The reality hit her hard. She was standing in a dimly lit room, half naked in front of the man who kidnapped her… who threatened her... The most beautiful man in the world. He lifted her hands and put them on him as if it was the most natural thing in the world that she should touch him. She caressed him again, just to make sure he was really there. He covered her small hands with his and stood perfectly still. “If you want me to stop, I will. If you want me to leave this room, I will. ‘Piccola’ (Ita. Baby), the decision is yours.” “Don’t stop, please… I just want to be yours tonight… and always…”

Mariée depuis trois ans, je suis très à l'aise avec le statu quo. Mon mari était doux et attentionné, émotionnellement stable. Et nous n’avons jamais eu de disputes. Malheureusement, j’ai vu mon mari, qui était toujours introverti et doux, bloquer sa bien-aimée dans un coin en demandant avec colère : « Au début, c'était ton propre choix d'épouser une autre personne, tu n’as donc pas le droit de me demander maintenant ! » Je me suis rendu compte qu'à l'origine, quand il aimait vraiment une femme, il serait tellement passionné. Ensuite, j’ai choisi de divorcer, de partir et de m'évaporer. Beaucoup de gens disaient que Cédric Baudet était fou, car ce dernier me cherchait désespérément dans la Ville J. Il était si calme et si sûr de lui, comment pouvait-il être fou ? Il serait moins possible qu’il devienne fou pour moi, son ex-femme sans valeur. Plus tard, quand il m'a vue à côté d'un autre homme, il m'a serré le poignet, les yeux écarlates, en me suppliant humblement : « Chloé, j'ai eu tort, tu reviens à côté de moi, d'accord ? » C’était alors que j'ai compris qu'il n'y avait pas de rumeurs aveugles dans le monde extérieur. Il était vraiment fou.
