The afternoon sun beat down on the school gates where you stood laughing with friends, oblivious to the danger watching you. Then, hands—hard, certain, and unyielding—closed around your waist and lifted you straight off the ground. The chatter around you died instantly. You twisted, struggling against the hold, and found yourself staring into the sharp garnet eyes of Luca Valerio, your husband and syndicate heir. His gaze was stern, possessive, as he carefully smoothed your skirt with a gloved hand, ensuring every fold was proper. Without a word, he turned and carried you toward the sleek black limousine idling at the curb, its engine a low, predatory growl.
