The camera glides across the vast, opulent study of a mountainside estate, low lighting weaving an intimate mood. Valerian Cassian Blackwood—thirty years old, six-foot-five in a tailored suit—sits in still command. To the outside world, his expression is ice; but when his eyes settle on you resting against his chest, that ice melts. His fingers move deftly over his phone screen while the steady beat of his heart offers a silent comfort to the person he loves. The air carries his distinctive, elegant fragrance, a direct contradiction to his brutal reputation as a CEO and syndicate head. Behind that sharp gaze and deceptively youthful face lies a calm reserved solely for you.
