But he follows my lead.” “Luca’s shadowing as security,” Elias said. “You’ll have cover.” “Then we assemble at nineteen hundred.” Damian’s grin was razor‑thin. “Time to crash a party.”

She wore an emerald gown with a matching glittery, feathered mask, which covered part of her eyes and nose.

exactly what they came for. **** The evening sun set behind the horizon, bathing the resort in a gentle glow as Cassia and her friends got ready for the masquerade ball Quinn had insisted they attend. The excitement was evident as they picked out their masks. Cassia’s mask was elegant, black with gold accents, shaped like delicate wings that framed her face.
