«Mas eu, Denovon Rowland, preciso de uma esposa.» O coração de Emily deu um salto. «Não quero ir a mais nenhum encontro às cegas», disse ele, com voz firme e segura. «Por isso, se estiveres disposta...» Ele inclinou-se ligeiramente, baixando o tom de voz o suficiente para que ela sentisse que o mundo tinha parado. «Vamos casar.» Emily suspirou baixinho, atordoada. «Prometo que não ficarás em desvantagem», acrescentou ele, gentilmente.

Quand Livio Colin, mon époux et PDG, a appris que j'avais cédé de mon propre chef le contrat de plusieurs millions à Zoé Delafose, il a proposé, pour me « dédommager », un voyage en Islande. Il croyait que trois mois de silence radio avaient enfin porté leurs fruits. Zoé Delafose était sa précieuse assistante. Elle a mal pris la nouvelle. Une crise de jalousie, une menace de démission, et le voilà aux petits soins. Et le résultat ? Il m'a posé un lapin, prétextant un « déplacement professionnel » pour s'envoler avec elle vers les glaces islandaises.

Il a pris ça pour de la grandeur d'âme, promettant, le sourire aux lèvres, de m'offrir une lune de miel encore plus romantique à son retour. Ce qu'il ignorait, c'était que ma lettre de démission avait déjà été signée. Tout comme les papiers du divorce. Entre lui et moi, la ligne avait été tracée. Il n'y aurait pas de retour en arrière.
