He opened his eyes. His gaze bore into her. «You need to stop, or I'm going to kiss you against my will.»

She placed both hands on his chest then snaked them around his neck and wound her fingers into his hair. «Please, Alonzo, just one last kiss.» Breathless, she begged him like one starved for a morsel of food, needing a taste yet knowing it could never fully satisfy.

Zo reached his arm behind her neck and under her hair, then drew her close.

Her heart sprinted; anticipation quivered. Finally.

He leaned forward, and his face moved to hers. She closed her eyes, and her legs went weak. His lips grazed the side of her mouth. So close. Closer. Please. She waited, her body trembling.

His lips slid over to her ear, his voice a soft murmur. «No, Sweetheart. Not unless you're mine.»

Iris Kent isn't supposed to fall in love with Alonzo Locke. She's engaged to Trip Dunnavin-the most eligible bachelor in Dallas. Her future is supposedly set in diamond encrusted stone.

Yet, Alonzo sees through the bubbly exterior of the raven-haired beauty. Not everything is glittery in her privileged universe.

But just as they realize the strength of their connection, Alonzo's own shadowy secret drives a wedge between them.

Now Iris is locked out of love and locked in a world of outward opulence, silent deception and wordless suffering.

Can Alonzo right the wrongs done to them both before it's too late?
