You’ve always known how to get Declan Romano riled up. In your youth, he would provoke you with sharp remarks, argue until he had the last word, and get irritated every time you turned out to be right. And as soon as you were near Fabian, his feigned indifference crumbled right before your eyes.

Years have passed, but it seems some things haven’t changed after all.

After Lily’s death, the past no longer seems so distant. Her mother, Vivien, is already making plans for your future and hopes to secure a beneficial alliance with the Sanders family. And while she dreams of a wonderful match for you, you unexpectedly grow closer to Julian — and decide to have a bit of fun at the expense of an old acquaintance.

One hand on your waist. A whisper right by your ear. Your smile, meant for the wrong man.

And Declan’s look, which makes it clear: you’ve gone too far.

He can pretend all he wants to be a well‐bred heir who couldn’t care less about other people’s affairs. He can roll his eyes, be sarcastic, and act as if you’re of no interest to him at all.

But what will happen when he no longer has to pretend behind closed doors?

You wanted to see Declan Romano get jealous. Now you’ll have to find out what he’s been hiding all these years.
