Viktor’s kiss took Maddie by surprise. It shouldn’t have. Wasn’t it natural to kiss to seal an engagement?

But the kiss did surprise her. And then it overwhelmed her, his lips coaxing a response that radiated throughout her body. They took possession of hers, insisting on the two things she’d said only that morning she wasn’t capable of.

Submission and trust.

But then, like with so many other things in her life, the rules did not apply to Viktor Beck.

She found herself melting into him, no thoughts for self-preservation or holding anything back.

And he accepted her surrender with a forceful masculine desire that belied any claim for a lack of passion between them.

He devoured her mouth, his arms coming around her, his hands pressing her body flush with his.

Maddie’s knees would have given out, but Vik’s hold on her was too tight.

The kiss was Viktor Beck staking claim to the woman who promised to marry him and give him his dreams.

LUCY MONROE started reading at the age of four. After going through the children’s books at home, she was caught by her mother reading adult novels pilfered from the higher shelves on the bookcase … Alas, it was nine years before she got her hands on a Mills & Boon® Romance her older sister had brought home. She loves to create the strong alpha males and independent women who people Mills & Boon® books. When she’s not immersed in a romance novel (whether reading or writing it), she enjoys travel with her family, having tea with the neighbours, gardening, and visits from her numerous nieces and nephews.

For Judy Flohr, a very special reader who I have long considered an honest friend. It’s sort of amazing to me that you’ve been reading and sharing your love of my books since the very first one, THE GREEK TYCOON’S ULTIMATUM, back in 2003. When I’m doubting myself, or the story, I know I can re-read your emails or online reader reviews and remember why I write and that maybe I’m not so bad at this after all.

THANK YOU!!!

Hugs and blessings, Lucy
