ROSALINE

What is worse than being proposed to marry a man you've never even met? I'll answer it. Drinking with a man who's off-limits and sleeping with him just to prove a point. Plus points, if he's not the man you'll soon marry.
After that one drunken night, I swear to never entertain him again.
Unfortunately, the next time we meet, things turn too hot in the bathroom.
He's the enemy, one I should know better than to involve myself with, but I can't resist his unbreakable allure. His need for me sparks a kind of undying fire in me that makes me lose control, forgetting who I am.
Sex is not the only reason.
It's the way he softly whispers into my ears and the way he holds me. It's the intensity with which he looks at me and makes me feel desired.
There's one tiny problem.
His marriage is in four months.
To a woman who calls me her friend.

LUCIANO

They say there's a pleasure in tasting the things you cannot have. Forbidden passion has its own mind when planted inside someone. I never knew the depth of these words until I saw her—the woman desired by many but touched by none.
She is the brightest pink rose in a sea full of white ones, covered with thorns, ones that only I have ever crossed and I intend to keep it that way as long as I can.
Only, she isn't mine and I'm not hers.
And every moment we spend together brings us closer to the reality we're meant for. Some sacrifices are made for the greater good, but what good comes from leaving behind the one thing you never had and have finally found?
She surrendered herself to me. Body and soul.
Until the end of our agreement.
So what if one of us wants more in the end? What if the one is me?
