“Do I know you?”
Zara Falconer’s convenient wedding to tycoon Tomas Gallo freed her from her mercenary uncle. She believes their vows were swiftly annulled but, unbeknownst to Zara, a car crash wiped Tomas’s memory before he could release her from their agreement.
Grateful to her rescuer, Zara agrees to be housekeeper at Tomas’s English mansion while he recovers. Prowling the corridors is the tortured shadow of a commanding man—who she’s shocked to discover is still her husband!
Being in close proximity to Tomas again awakens a powerful longing between them. Will this intense hunger remind him of the ties that bind them?
‘Get in the bath or I’ll put you in it myself,’ Tomas said softly.
That order melted the last frozen part within Zara.
‘Really?’ She couldn’t help smiling at him. ‘How d’you think you’re going to do that?’
He looked up at her for just a moment longer, his focus dipping to her mouth. Then suddenly in one smooth movement, he caught both her wrists in one of his hands and to her astonishment swiftly lifted his jumper and pressed her cold, cold fingers to his bare skin.
She gasped at the shock—and the sensation. She looked up into his face and saw how intently he was gazing at her.
‘Tomas...’ she whispered. Pleading. She couldn’t help it.
He didn’t reply. He just stepped that last inch closer and kissed her.
She moaned in instant delight, despite the fact his kiss was furious. He subjected her to the full force of his anger—and his passion—and both only brought forth the desire she’d tried to hold within herself for so long.
She moaned again, her legs weakening, but he abruptly broke the kiss.
Never had a man made her feel like this. Made her want like this.
He stared down at her silently, his breathing quick, his expression burning. But he didn’t smile back at her.
‘Go and get into the bath,’ he breathed, releasing her completely. ‘Go. Now.’
‘Y-yes,’ she stammered. Then turned and fled.
