Her kiss changed his life forever…
Greek billionaire Theo Kallistratos isn’t looking for love—only a distraction—when he becomes captivated by a mysterious woman sitting alone in his New York nightclub. But when she leaves him with a single kiss that ruins him for anyone else, he knows one thing…
One kiss will never be enough.
Rose Smythe is as striking as her name—but she is far from delicate. She has thorns, and she knows how to wield them. Smooth-talking charmers like Theo are exactly what she avoids. Still, their shared kiss lingers… in her thoughts and in her heart.
Theo has two goals in New York: find his godfather’s lost granddaughter and the mystery woman whose kiss still haunts him. He never expects both searches to lead to the same woman.
When Rose vanishes, Theo will stop at nothing to find her—but winning her heart is only the beginning. Because loving Rose means surrendering everything he is—body and soul.
Can he break through the thorns guarding her heart and prove they belong together, or will his cursed arrogance destroy the fragile bloom of her love?
“What you need,” Nikos said, gesturing to the chaos below, “is a little rest and relaxation. Loosen the leash a bit. It’s been two months, man. When’s the last time you were laid? And Allegra doesn’t count.”
Theo shuddered. Allegra was on his ‘do not touch’ list, the same as her half-sister, Gina. He knew if one of the Rossi sisters got their perfectly manicured talons into him, it would be damn near impossible to get them out.
Maybe Nikos had a point. He hadn’t been with another woman since he’d ended things with his last mistress in London—a clean, clinical affair, like most of his relationships. But the thought of returning to that kind of arrangement now felt… empty.
Another thing to blame on Alexandros, he mused, thinking of his brother and his newly wedded bliss.
Still, a distraction might help. A brief pause. Something to take the edge off. It had been years since he’d had a one-night stand, but that was all he wanted at the moment.
He leaned forward, his elbow on his knee, and let his gaze drift lazily across the writhing crowd below. His eyes passed over glittering dresses, sky-high heels, and waves of chemically perfected hair. Everything shimmered, sparkled, pouted—until it didn’t. Until one woman made it all vanish.
He stiffened, his muscles tensing. A muted curse slipped out as every nerve lit up, like a lightning strike straight to the chest.
At a corner table near the back, slightly tucked behind a column and away from the strobes, sat a woman who didn’t belong in the crowd but somehow eclipsed everyone in it. She was dressed in an oversized pullover sweater, worn jeans, and sneakers. Her dark hair was swept into a casually messy ponytail that looked both effortless and… effortlessly sexy.
