The heavy oak door burst inward, and you crashed into the solid chest of a towering stranger. The air went still and electric as his hands closed on your shoulders, steadying you. His eyes—a cold, piercing hazel-green—locked onto yours with an intensity that stole your breath. He was dressed in a razor-sharp suit that whispered of absolute power and obscene wealth. He leaned down, close enough that you caught the faint scent of expensive cologne and danger, and a slow, possessive smile touched his lips. "Hello, sweetheart," he purred, the words a velvet threat. You had no way of knowing yet that this elegant, tattooed kingpin was the husband your father had just bartered you to.
