The new branch of Jewel’s Empire in Gems City had been open barely a month, and already the city’s elites were fighting over my most exquisite, custom-made pieces.

Still, an ache tightened in her chest as she realized she might never see this mesmerizing stranger again. But her heart leaped as she noticed the relaxed figure that had been sprawled across the cushions suddenly shift and stride toward her, his movements slow and deliberate. Her breath hitched as he stopped in front of her, close enough that she could feel warmth radiating from him. "This gem..."
