Chapter 18 Natalie held a champagne flute, carefully examining each painting in the gallery. But her mind registered none of them. Clearly, she hadn’t had enough to drink. When a waiter passed with a tray, she took another glass. As she turned, she stumbled slightly. A firm hand steadied her

Chapter 17 Natalie reached the top of the stairs, realized she’d forgotten her phone, and turned back. When she pushed open the door, she saw Alexander holding it. “Spying on people’s privacy is a new low, even for you,” Natalie said, her face cold as she strode toward him. Official

Chapter 12 Natalie looked up, her eyes meeting Alexander’s as he glanced in her direction. His dark gaze held a cryptic smile. She was happy to see Eugene again. They had been teacher and student, after all, and had known each other longer than she’d known Alexander. Now they were

Chapter 8 A heavy silence fell after Natalie’s words. Then, the weight beside her was gone. She heard the sound of him getting out of bed. “Divorce? So you finally said it. What’s the matter? Tired of putting up with it, or did he finally give you the backbone to
