“Dante Russo.”

“The real topic of the night,” Shannon said, “is how good Dante looks.

amen

“Does Mr. Perfect have a name,

daddy

“Dante Russo. The pleasure is all mine.”

One, Dante was going to be my fiancé. Two, we might kill each other before we ever made it to the altar.

“I thought a society heiress like yourself would know better than to discuss money in polite company.” “The keyword is polite.” A ghost of a smile flickered over my mouth.

patience. It was a virtue I wasn’t familiar with,

felt

Marry Vivian, or my brother dies.

right

Sloane

bff

Dante stood at the other end of the hall, talking to a beautiful redhead and an Asian man with cheekbones sharp enough to cut ice.

MY BABIES

I’d detected a tiny flash of something else in his eyes before I left. Respect.

Heath: Happy Pumpkin Hot Chocolate Day :)

ew i forgot about this man

the gift-wrapping room used to be.

the what

Vivian’s laugh evoked a strange sensation in my chest. Heartburn? Investigate later.

“Who, exactly, is on your dream list of people to marry?”

“Are you asking me out, mia cara?” A smile touched my lips at her glare. “I told you to stop calling me that.” “Yes, you did.”

“Welcome to the truce, mia cara.” My breath fanned across her cheek.

until I located a jar of sliced pickles and a bowl of chocolate pudding on the bottom shelf.

terrifying combo

“I’ve barely seen you all week.” “Missed me?” Amusement lengthened his drawl.

His answering smile could’ve melted butter. “I appreciate your faith in me, mia cara.”

Dominic Davenport,

pookie

Unidentifiable emotion flashed through his eyes before it vanished beneath pools of inscrutable blue. “Thank you for letting me know.”

ugh dommmmm

Isabella’s smile dropped like a concrete kite, and I turned to see Kai watching us with bemusement.

LOL

Strawberry flavored.”

he’s so funny

she was smiling and laughing like he was an award-winning comedian when I knew for a fact he wasn’t that damn funny.

She’d never laughed that much with me, and I was her goddamned fiancé.

well whose fault is that baby

“Dante Russo, are you…jealous?”

I hated the sound of Kai’s name on her tongue. I hated the way she laughed so easily in his presence. And I hated how much I cared about either of those things.

all I could think about was our night in Valhalla’s library.

those books have seen horrible acts

Queen Bridget of Eldorra

bestie girl

He never wanted marriage. Then, one day, out of the blue, he announces he’s engaged? It’s not like him.”

and whose fault is that

“I need to return to New York immediately.”

GOOOODDDDDDDDDD what a man

And still, Dante held me.

“Is for threatening my wife.”

Having sex enough?”

pardon?

“Stop. I told you to call me Janis. You’re always so formal.

calling you by your name isn’t formal?

“Yes,” I said. “She is.” Vivian’s eyes widened a fraction while my mother beamed harder.

“Anche io non finisco mai di sorprendermi,” Dante muttered.

LOL

“Just never thought I’d see the day when Dante fell in love.” “Enough.” Dante’s tone was sharp. “This isn’t a roundtable on my love life.” Luca’s grin widened, but he heeded his brother’s warning and didn’t say anymore after that.

crazy for joking about a situation you put him in

“How does he look at me?” Janis smiled. “Like he never wants to look away.”

Sitting at the bottom of the bag, nestled between paper-wrapped cutlery and a plethora of sauces, were two takeout boxes from my favorite sushi restaurant.

STOOOPPPPPP

In her world, she might as well be dancing barefoot on a bartop in Ibiza.

doesn’t she literally do that in her book

“Since you enjoyed fucking with me so much, I figured I’d return the favor. Oh, and Dante?” His smile lacked any hint of humor. “Touch Stella again, and you’ll no longer have a fiancée.”

CHRISTIAN HARPER HEHEHEHEH I FORGOT ABOUT THISSSSS

“Don’t be stupid enough to do it in his house.”

GET HIS ASS

“I’ll sue you for assault.” Dante’s smile was terrifying in its calmness. “You can try.”

My head and heart waged civil war against each other and, for the first time in my life, my heart was winning.

you need to tell her the truth right neow

“You can’t see the stars in New York,” Dante said. “So I brought the stars to you.”

i’m gonna be sick?

I had nothing to worry about.

actually…!

“I’d like the tagliatelle.”

I pushed a hand through my hair, trying to think through the pressure squeezing my skull.

i’m literally on my knees begging you to talk to your wife.
