Julian knew perfectly well that Claire came from an ordinary background, nothing close to the elite social circles his family moved through.

His parents wouldn't approve. The rest of the Ashford family certainly wouldn't either.

None of that changed anything for him.

He wasn't about to let anyone look down on a woman he'd chosen not even if she'd walked in off the street with nothing to her name.

Julian led Claire through the crowd, introducing her to the family elders one by one, and she handl

  • The Divorcee Who Ruled Their Hearts    Chapter 55: What's There to Be Scared Of? I'm Here.

    Bianca crossed her arms, a look of anticipation settling over her face as she watched Claire disappear into the tree line.Julian shot her a cold look before turning and walking straight into the tent, done with the whole spectacle.He had absolutely no intention of spending another second in that woman's company.Bianca, unwilling to let a rare moment alone with him slip by, followed him inside."Julian. Camping out here is actually kind of nice, isn't it?" she offered, attempting conversation.He ignored her completely, settling into a folding chair and pulling out some work documents.Undeterred, Bianca crept up behind him, seizing what she saw as the perfect opening.She wrapped her arms around him from behind, and the moment her hands made contact with his warm skin, her pulse spiked.She'd never been this physically close to him before, and the unexpected proximity had her heart racing with possibility.Just as her fingers started drifting lower, tracing toward his stomach, Juli

  • The Divorcee Who Ruled Their Hearts    Chapter 54: Baby, Don't Be Scared

    Julian felt Claire press against him, soft and warm, carrying that same faint, familiar scent that always did something to his focus.Something shifted in his expression, his gaze going momentarily hazy. He brushed a hand over her hair, then wrapped an arm firmly around her waist, voice low and doting. "Don't worry. She won't lay a finger on you while I'm here."Bianca, standing off to the side, watched the two of them wrapped around each other, fury climbing straight to her head.She pointed a finger at Claire, who peeked out from Julian's arms with a raised eyebrow, and completely abandoned whatever polish she'd walked in with."You little! I haven't even done anything yet, and you're already playing the victim!""Don't think you can hide behind Julian and act smug with me!"She didn't actually dare touch Claire outright not while they were all out here together, and certainly not if it meant Julian sending her packing on the spot.But she had absolutely no intention of standing by

  • The Divorcee Who Ruled Their Hearts    Chapter 49: Julian, You're Impossible

    Claire pressed a light kiss to Julian's mouth, then caught the loose ends of his suit tie and pulled, drawing him in with an easy, deliberate tug of her fingers, her eyes glinting with the same familiar challenge.Julian thoroughly enjoyed being led around like this.He tilted his chin up, his hands settling on her shoulders before drifting lower, unhurried.The dress slipped down to pool around her waist.Their eyes locked, something electric passing between them.Claire wrapped an arm around his waist and rose on her toes, pressing a kiss to his throat, her voice teasing and warm."Julian. You're impossible."He smiled down at her, something dark and pleased flickering in his expression, and pulled her in for another slow, deep kiss.When they finally broke apart, both of them were a little breathless.Claire's cheeks stayed flushed, her already striking features somehow even more so in the firelight.She barely had a second to catch her breath before Julian pressed forward again, g

  • The Divorcee Who Ruled Their Hearts    Chapter 48: An Exciting Camping Trip

    Amid a chorus of teasing from the other guests, Julian steered Claire out of the banquet hall.The rain hadn't let up outside.He held the umbrella carefully over her, keeping her close and shielded from the drizzle.As they crossed toward the car, Julian's possessiveness had clearly reached its peak.He glanced down at her, something dark simmering behind his eyes."Your uncle looked at you very strangely tonight.""Are you upset?" Claire asked, blinking up at him with wide, innocent eyes.Something about that look softened him instantly.He wrapped an arm around her shoulders, voice low. "Baby. Keep some distance from him going forward."Claire settled into the passenger seat with a faint smile, saying nothing.Distance, huh. Given everything that had already happened between her and Damian, that request felt a little late.She had no intention of writing off a man as compelling as Damian Ashford just because Julian asked nicely.She'd always had this effect on men it wasn't somethi

  • The Divorcee Who Ruled Their Hearts    Chapter 47: Your Girlfriend Really Is Beautiful

    Damian studied Claire with a look loaded with meaning the kind that hinted at far more than the surface suggested.Julian caught it immediately.He turned to his uncle, eyes narrowing slightly, his smile pleasant on the surface but carrying a sharp warning underneath."Uncle. Claire is my girlfriend. I'd appreciate a little more respect going forward."Damian let out a soft laugh, his gaze shifting from Claire back to Julian, something faintly provocative flickering across his composed face."Of course.""Since she's your girlfriend, I'll be sure to take good care of her." He put unmistakable weight on those last few words, letting the innuendo hang in the air.Claire caught the tension immediately and tugged lightly at Julian's sleeve, a quiet signal to defuse things.Watching his uncle's odd behavior only solidified whatever suspicion was already forming in Julian's mind.He gritted his teeth, grabbed Claire's hand, and turned to Lucas and Damian both. "Lucas. Uncle. Dinner's starti

When do we get to celebrate the wedding?""No surprise, really a family like yours attracts nothing less than the best."The compliments rolled in one after another.Julian found himself grinning at every one of them, clearly pleased.Claire took it all in stride, un
