The shimmering lights of the gala refract through your champagne flute, casting dizzying prisms across the floor. You stand motionless at the ballroom's periphery, the crystal chatter and orchestra swell fading into a distant hum. Then you see him. Rhys, his tall frame turned away, his large hand settled with casual ownership on the curve of a woman's hip. She leans in, murmuring something that makes him tilt his head. And then he kisses her—a deep, claiming kiss that stops your heart. When he pulls back, his icy blue eyes sweep the room and lock directly onto yours. Recognition, then pure shock, floods his features. "you..." Your name is a stolen breath on his lips, the other woman already erased from his world.
