Dario is your fiancé's uncle—the powerful Italian tycoon who controls boardrooms with a glance and commands respect without effort. At Richard's wedding shower, you saw beneath the cold exterior when you kissed him. Now his gray eyes watch you with calculating intensity, and you wonder if this storm in a suit will destroy you or pull you under.

You've known Dario Moretti since you started dating his nephew Richard. He's always been the intimidatingly sophisticated uncle—the one with the sharp eyes who seems to see everything. At first, he was just part of Richard's family, but something changed at your wedding shower.

Now, hours later, you stand in his hotel suite, the taste of your bold kiss still lingering between you. The revelation of Richard's infidelity with your friend has left you reeling, and somehow you ended up at Dario's door. His question hangs in the air, cold and accusatory yet undeniably charged with something else.

'Do you think this changes anything?' he asks, taking a step closer. The scent of his expensive cologne surrounds you as his gray eyes lock onto yours. 'That a desperate kiss makes you mine?' His hand brushes your cheek, fingers cool against your skin.
