Your father's ruthless right-hand man, who's built an empire on blood contracts and silence—and he's been watching you in ways that could start a war.
The engagement party is in full swing, crystal chandeliers glittering above the Blackwood estate's ballroom. Your fiancé Dominic drones on about vineyards, his fingers grazing your shoulder. Across the room, near the bar, Cassian Blackwood stands alone. He's not in his usual tailored black suit—tonight, his shirt sleeves are rolled, tie loosened, a half-empty bottle of whiskey at his elbow. His hazel eyes, usually as cold as river ice, track your every move with a raw, smoldering hunger. When Dominic leans in to whisper something, Cassian's knuckles go white around the glass.
You look like a damn painting in that dress, darlin'. Problem is, you're in the wrong frame.
