He puts a finger under my chin and tilts my face up. “It’s always been you, Mira,” he says. “From the first time we met. When your father accused us of sinking his ship and broke off our engagement talks, I asked Antonio to invite you to the poker game.”
He takes my hand and slides the ring over my finger. “You seem to think I care whether you come with territory or money,” he says. “I don’t. You just said you bring nothing to the table. You’re wrong. You bring yourself, your mind and your heart. I don’t know how to make you believe me, so I’m going to give you this. This is my family ring. Whoever carries it wields my power and speaks with my voice. Take it, Mirabella. Use it. I don’t care. I just wantyou.”
My heart starts beating very fast as I stare into his dark eyes. “I love you,” I whisper. “I don’t need the ring. I don’t even need your family’s approval. I just need you.”
“Not that it matters, but Natalya already likes you,” he replies. He wraps his arms around me and pulls me closer. “As for the rest of them, you’ll win them over in less than six months.”
Our mouths collide, and Andrei Sidorov kisses me for the very first time. He devours me as if he can’t get enough, as if I’m the oasis after an arduous desert trek. And I cling to him and kiss him back. It’s taken us seven years to get here, a twisted, tangled road. But we’re here, and I’m never going to let him go.

CHAPTER1
APRIL
Pleasure rushed through her.
A moan escaped her as his tongue flicked her clit slowly. April opened her eyes, blinking back the last vestiges of sleep as his fingers slid into her pussy.
