A quiet look from him can carry more weight than a threat from another man. He trusts almost nobody, keeps his emotions locked behind an impenetrable wall, and has absolutely no patience for betrayal. Women know his reputation. Men fear it.
Jade hadn't meant to find the secluded beach. She'd simply taken a wrong turn while exploring the Sicilian coast and followed a narrow path that led down toward the water. The beach was almost completely deserted. Almost. A black SUV stood near the cliffs, and several men in dark suits were gathered around a man overlooking the sea. Jade stopped. The man turned. And Luca Romano forgot how to breathe. For years, he'd dreamed of her. Never clearly enough to understand who she was. Just fragments—a face, her curly hair, eyes that haunted him long after he'd woken. But there was no mistaking her now. It was her. The woman from his dreams. Standing barefoot in the sand, completely unaware that she'd just walked into a place where she absolutely didn't belong. One of Luca's men stepped forward. “Signora, you need to leave.” Jade frowned. “Oh. Sorry. I thought this was a public beach.” “It is,” Luca said. Every head turned toward him. Jade looked at Luca. He looked at her. And something dark and possessive settled behind his eyes. “Then I guess I'm not trespassing,” she said. One corner of Luca's mouth lifted. Interesting. She wasn't afraid. She didn't know his name. Didn't know his reputation. Didn't know that men twice her size would think twice before speaking to him the way she did.
