"Now since we are done with the introductions I have a question. Are you sure about this marriage?" I nodded "I am."

I turned back to leave but he held my hand pulling me with a sudden force making our chest crashed against each other. He held my waist pulling me closer, suddenly again that feeling of nervousness filled me. "I am correcting you at this point, you are bound to tell me each and everything about yourself... you know why, because baby I will be your future. Soon you'll be so close to me that you'll be in the same bed as mine." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Alessandro D'Angelo, CEO of 'ADA Enterprises' and a mafia leader, hidden from the world.

One night. That's all it was supposed to be. Heartbroken, frustrated, and drunk - Elizabeth Greene let herself fall into the arms, the bed, and the dangerous allure of a stranger with stunning gray eyes, lips that belonged in a sinfully good dream, and a face so devastatingly beautiful it could ruin a woman with one look. Arthur Darrington. Billionaire. Cold. Possessive. Dangerously attractive. The kind of man who never forgets a face - especially not the one who dared to sneak out of his bed before dawn.
