But now he’s back… and more magnetic than ever. Three years after a secret weekend in the Swiss Alps, Alora Sorenson thought she’d completely moved on from the mysterious man who turned her world upside down. That is until Edward Prescott walks back into her life: richer, more powerful, and even harder to resist. As the billionaire owner of the world’s largest casino empire, Edward is the definition of untouchable. He’s a dark, commanding force in a world of high society, luxury yachts, and ruthless enemies. Alora prefers a serene and simple life, surrounded by antiques and vintage fashion. She doesn’t belong in his world, and yet… she’s never stopped wanting him. But behind his intoxicating charm lie hidden dangers, and in the shadows of the Riviera, will the past reemerge and destroy everything? Secrets brought them together. But will they also tear them apart?
