Luca dragged himself out of bed. Shit.

He looked back at Audrey’s naked body, barely covered by the sheet. She was still asleep.

He hadn’t meant to sleep with her. He’d come here to end things. Break it off clean. But the second he saw her, touched her—tasted her—he caved. As always. It was like trying to quit smoking. Not that he ever had. But she was addictive.

Maybe that’s why this thing between them had lasted eleven months. The longest he’d ever been with anyone.

He should’ve ended it months ago. Luca had known this was coming—known he had responsibilities he couldn’t outrun forever. He just hadn’t expected them to catch up in the form of his father’s heart attack.

Nick De Santis had pulled through. But it had been close. Too close.

And before the surgery, his father had made him promise. Made him swear that if he survived, Luca would finally fulfill the commitment he’d made sixteen years ago.

The promise that still made Luca’s blood boil.

  • In Bed With Her Shithead Boss   Chapter Ninety-Four

    She waited a week.Seven days of silence.She hadn’t planned to wait that long. She’d told herself she’d give him two days. Three, tops. Enough time to cool down, breathe, process what she’d told him. That’s what people did when they were scared. They pulled away. They panicked. But then they came back.Luca would realize that she had never cheated on him and come to his senses.She told herself that every morning. Whispered it like a prayer while she stared at her phone, thumb hovering over his contact. Every time it buzzed, her stomach flipped. Every time it didn’t, something inside her cracked.She left messages. One voicemail.“Please call me.”He never did. He ignored her calls and voicemail.By day five, her hope had started rotting. It didn’t crumble—it curdled. Turned bitter. Sour. Something she didn’t recognize. She told herself she wouldn’t call again. That if he wanted to talk, he’d talk. That she had dignity. That she wasn’t going to beg. She couldn’t do that to herself af

  • In Bed With Her Shithead Boss   Prologue - Sutton’s Story

    Sutton stood in front of the mirror, making a few last-minute touches to her platinum blonde hair and makeup. She still hadn’t taken out the bright green contact lenses from her earlier photo shoot. They masked the true blue of her eyes. Luca had called from the airport to let her know he was on his way. She hadn’t seen him in five weeks. Five long weeks. She hadn’t realized just how much she’d missed him until she heard his voice. This had been the longest they’d ever been apart. He’d sounded tired… but that had never stopped him from coming straight to see her before. Whenever he returned from a trip, he always came to her first. He’d take her in his arms, devour her with a hunger that defied words. They rarely made it to the bedroom. Sutton glanced down at the pregnancy test on the vanity, the two pink lines still boldly visible. She didn’t know why she’d kept it. Her doctor had already confirmed the result, but maybe part of her needed the reminder. Her life was about to change

  • In Bed With Her Shithead Boss   Chapter Ninety-One

    Blair leaned back in her office chair, rubbing her temples as she tried to focus on the reports in front of her. She’d been at it for hours, and the numbers were starting to blur together. Taking over her parents’ company had been challenging but rewarding, and three months into her role as CEO, she was finally finding her feet.Her phone buzzed with a text from Roman: Dinner tonight at 8. Don’t be late. I have news.Blair smiled, typing back: Intriguing. Should I be worried?His response came immediately: Only if you’re worried about how much I’m going to make you enjoy yourself afterward.Heat crept up her neck as she read his message. Three months of marriage, and Roman still had the ability to make her blush with just a few words. Grinning. Promises, promises, she texted back.Setting her phone aside, Blair returned to the reports, but found her concentration slipping again. She’d been feeling off for the past few days… tired, slightly, and inexplicably emotional over the smalle

    “Breathe, Blair. You look like you’re about to pass out,” Sutton said, adjusting the delicate veil in Blair’s hair.“I’m fine,” Blair insisted, though her heart was racing. “Just... processing.”Keira snorted, carefully touching up Blair’s makeup. “Processing that in exactly thirty-seven minutes, you’re going to be Mrs. Roman Kingston?”“When you say it like that, it sounds so... real,” Blair whispered.“That’s because it is real,” Sutton laughed softly. “After everything you’ve been through to get here, I’d hope so.”Blair glanced at her reflection in the mirror. Her dress was perfect. The hairdresser had styled her hair in loose waves. Inside, though, she felt anything but calm. Not because she was having doubts… she had never been more certain of anything in her life, but because the moment felt so monumental.“Mom and Dad would be so proud,” Keira said softly, as if reading her thoughts. “Of all of us, but especially you today.”Blair felt tears threatening and blinked rapidly. “

    “I still can’t believe we’re doing this,” Blair said, stepping out of the car in front of Bella’s Bridal Boutique. “The wedding is this weekend. Shouldn’t we have done this months ago?”“Most people, yes,” Sutton agreed, carefully maneuvering her very pregnant form out of the car. “But most people don’t get engaged, catch an embezzler, confront a jealous ex-wife, expose a murderous uncle, and take over a family business all within the span of a few weeks.”Keira jumped out from the back seat, grinning. “Yeah, Blair. Stop being such an overachiever. Some of us can barely manage to show up to work on time.”“Speaking of which,” Blair said, eyeing her younger sister, “how did you get time off from His Royal Highness?”Keira’s smile turned smug. “I may have implied there was a family emergency. Technically, not having a wedding dress a few days before your wedding qualifies.” She had arrived home this morning and Blair could see she was jetlagged.“You’re terrible,” Blair laughed.“I’m pr
