LOGINI've wanted him for as long as I can remember. My father's best friend. Forbidden. Untouchable. But that only makes me want him more."Sorcha has spent years longing for Karios—the man who commands every room but refuses to see her.She’s not a child anymore. And when her father leaves her in Karios’s care, it’s the chance she’s been waiting for.”But what she doesn't know is that Karios isn’t as unaffected as he seems.Alone in his house, she’s determined to make him see her. Want her. Lose control.” And once he gives in… there’s no turning back.”
View MoreThe heavy front door clicked shut, cutting off the Paris air and locking out the rest of the world.Before Sorcha could even take off her coat, Karios grabbed her wrist. He yanked her into his chest, hard enough to knock the breath out of her lungs. His hand tangled in the back of her hair, forcing her head up, and his mouth slammed onto hers.It wasn't a gentle kiss. He bit her bottom lip, his tongue pushing into her mouth with a rough, hungry demand that made her knees buckle. Sorcha scraped her nails straight down his back through his shirt, dragging him closer until there was no daylight left between them.Karios didn't break the kiss. He reached down, grabbed her under her thighs, and hoisted her straight off her feet. Sorcha wrapped her legs around his waist, her heels digging into his lower back as he slammed her up against the nearest wall. A frame rattled against the plaster.He unbuttoned her dress with fast, violent jerks of his fingers, ripping the fabric open until it

Sorcha and Karios stepped off the plane with their arms linked together, their smiles bright enough to rival the Parisian morning. A cool breeze greeted them as they took in the bustling airport, the unfamiliar voices, and the elegant skyline beyond. They had finally arrived in Paris—the City of Love. It was the place they had chosen, hoping it would give their love the chance to bloom and their future a fresh beginning."Let's go," Karios said, gently leading Sorcha toward a car parked nearby.While they were still on the plane, he had called someone from his Paris branch to bring the car over. His company had a branch here. It wasn't nearly as large as the one back home, but it was enough to help them start over together.As the car pulled away from the airport and merged onto the road, Sorcha turned to him with a curious smile."What are you thinking about?" she asked.Karios slipped an arm around her waist, drawing her a little closer."I'm just thinking about our new life togethe
The door closed behind her with a soft click that didn’t match the violence of what had just happened.Damien didn’t move.For a few seconds, he stood exactly where she had left him, shoulders squared, chin slightly raised, as if the argument were still in front of him waiting to be finished. The silence that followed stretched thin, unfamiliar. Even the house seemed to hesitate.The television still played.Her face flickered across the screen—Sorcha, caught mid-laugh, mid-embrace, her hands curled into Karios’ shirt like she belonged there.Damien reached for the remote and turned it off.The quiet settled heavier.Behind him, Elena shifted her weight. “Damien…”He exhaled through his nose, slow, controlled. “I told her not to.”It wasn’t directed at Elena. It didn’t need to be.“I told her what would happen.”He moved then, finally, but not toward her. He walked past her shoulder, close enough that she caught the faint scent of his cologne, now edged with something sharper—tension,
Elena may have started the game… but I’m not going down without a fight.The thought lingered long after Sorcha left the café.She crossed the campus with steadier steps than she felt, her bag slung over her shoulder, her face carefully composed. Around her, life went on as usual. Students laughed.
Chapter 17The silence at the table stretched.Damien’s frown deepened as he looked from Elena to Karios, then to Sorcha. Something felt off. He could feel it.“A good time?” he repeated slowly. “What are you talking about?”Elena lifted her cup, taking an unhurried sip of her coffee. “Nothing,” sh
The screech of tires tore through the morning air.Sorcha didn’t have time to scream. One second she was on the crosswalk, the next—an arm yanked her back with startling force.A car slammed to a stop just inches away, its engine growling.Karios held her tight against his chest, breathing hard. “A
Sorcha trailed after Karios, her footsteps soft but determined. Just as he stepped into the guest room and began to close the door, she caught it with her hand.He paused, the door stuck mid-swing.
