LOGINAt the very moment Phoebe Stanton miscarries, her husband, Connor Russell, is celebrating the return of his first love. To him, her three years of devotion and companionship mean nothing more than being a live-in maid and cook. Phoebe gives up on him and decides to divorce. Everyone in their circle knows that Phoebe is clingy and impossible to shake off. "I bet she'll come crawling in a day." Connor sneers. "A day? That's too long—half a day at most." But the moment Phoebe signs the divorce papers, she decides never to look back. She throws herself into a new life. She revives her career, which she once abandoned, builds new connections, and meets new people. As time goes on, Connor no longer sees even a trace of Phoebe at home. He begins to panic. At an industry summit, he finally spots her, surrounded by admirers. Desperate, he pushes forward. "Phoebe, haven't you had enough of this tantrum?" But Gideon Blackwood suddenly steps in front of her, shoving Connor aside, his very demeanor chilling the air. "Don't touch my woman." Connor has never loved Phoebe. But now that he does, it's already too late. There's no longer a place for him in her world.
View MoreAlexandra ignored Simon.He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What, are you jealous? Just say so if you are. I'll delete every single new number I've added. How's that?"Alexandra's appetite was only so-so. She was full after a few bites and had zero interest in getting entangled with her annoying neighbor any longer. "I'm going to bed. Mr. Landeau, it's time to leave.""I'll go, but first you have to tell me why you were crying." Simon tilted his head. "Work stress got to you?"She had been all about work lately, but Simon considered it a good thing. At least there weren't any new guys in the picture.Alexandra crossed her arms. "It's none of your business, is it?""If it's not work, then what can it be?" Simon pressed. "Tell me, and I'll go.""And if I don't?""Then I'm staying right here. It's not like we haven't slept together before. I already think of you as part of my inner circle. I know you wouldn't take advantage of me while I'm asleep, Ms. Cooper—you know, like getting c
Alexandra knew Simon had zero shame and was always openly flirty, but there was usually a limit. He'd gone overboard that night. Or maybe he'd just been holding back before and was finally dropping the act after she'd roasted him earlier. She figured that this was the real him."Mr. Landeau, I'm genuinely impressed by your grand ambition to become a top-tier escort. With your looks and build, you'd kill it in that line of work. I'll wish you massive career success in advance," she said.Simon couldn't stand it whenever Alexandra switched on that polished, small-talk mode. Still, he kept pushing, shameless as ever. "Come on, Ms. Cooper. Just think about it. It's not like we haven't done it before. Don't you trust my skills? Think about how many times you came in our one night together."She grabbed a pack of tissues and hurled it straight at his face. "Can you have a little dignity, Mr. Landeau?""I'm just offering you what you like. Why are you so mad? Did you already send the pret
Alexandra picked up Phoebe's call almost immediately. She asked, "So, how'd the talk go?"Phoebe said, "Gideon and I are together now."Alexandra let out a wild, ear-splitting scream, completely losing it. "Phoebe Stanton, you absolute legend! Did you confess first, or did Mr. Blackwood finally crack and do it?""I did.""Why did you suddenly change your mind?""I figured that we were gonna end up together anyway, so why wait?""Exactly! That's the right attitude!" Alexandra was practically bouncing. "So? How does it feel to actually be with him?""It's like… I'm finally understanding what being in a relationship is supposed to feel like." The tiny bit of sweetness Phoebe had felt with Gideon earlier wasn't something she'd ever had with Connor.It was only when she was wrapped around Gideon that she realized that this was what real affection and intimacy felt like.Alexandra instantly understood what she meant and exploded. "Connor's a real asshole!"Phoebe asked, "Remember w
With Gideon leaning in close to whisper in Phoebe's ear, she clearly felt his gentle breaths and low voice tickling her. She figured that he had to have felt that same shiver when she'd done it to him.Being this near made his voice sound even more alluring than usual. Her ears were trembling from it. And honestly, the words themselves sent her heart into a frenzy.Gideon was a germaphobe. He hated people getting too close and hated anyone touching him, but Phoebe was allowed to do it.She couldn't stop the happy grin that spread across her face; her mouth just wouldn't cooperate. Still, her ear was too sensitive. She pulled back a little to give herself some space before she ended up covered in goosebumps again and a red face.Her hand was still pressed against his chest, firmly held in place by his grip. "Are you just gonna keep holding my hand like that?""You do realize what the consequences are of me letting you continue, right?"She blinked in surprise. "…Right. Got it."G
