âHer name is Isabella. Sheâs six years old and sheâs beautiful and precious and sheâs ⦠sheâsyours.â
âNo.â The word fell from Leandroâs lipsâa snarling whisper in the quiet room. âThat canât be.â
Lips quivering, Alexis felt her chest rise and fall, but she held his gaze over the distance. âA DNA test will prove Iâm right,â she said, as if sheâd prepared the response.
It was the absolute purpose in her voice that held him mute. A daughter ⦠His skin felt chilly, as if all warmth had been leached away from the world around him.
And yet the crystal chandeliers in the room glowed bright, the fire crackled in the marble-wrought fireplace and the moon hung jewel-bright in the sky outside.
The world continued spinning, whereas all the control he prided himself on had deserted him, leaving him shaken to the core.
He shook his head, gasping for breath.
Alexis stood composed amidst the curious and accusing glares aimed at her, her shoulders ramrod-straight. Alexisâwhose eyes gleamed with pride and love as she claimed that he was a father. To her little girl.

LEANDRO CONTI.
The name floated, almost reverently, on the lips of the sweaty, gyrating crowd, bringing Alexis Sharpe to a sudden halt in the middle of the dance floor in an exclusive Milanese nightclub sheâd only been allowed into because of her new friend, Valentina Conti.
Their friendship had been instantaneous when Alex, backpacking through Italy, had somehow found herself facing the attentions of an enamored but harmless Italian waiter. Tina had interfered and instantly decided that she liked Alex.
Valentina, vivacious, sophisticated and rich, was as different from Alex as Milan was from Brooklyn, but Alex hadnât been able to resist Tinaâs generous heart. The differences hadnât bothered her either until she had met Tinaâs older brother.
Leandro Conti... CEO of Conti Luxury Goods.
Gorgeous, sophisticated Italian magnate.
Brooding. Forbidding. Almost godlike in the way he surveyed the rest of them. As if he existed on a different sphere.
For a twenty-year-old from Brooklyn, and for one who blended into average and dull on a daily basis, that felt very true.
That he was at the nightclub in Milan was as rare as a UFO sighting. Suddenly, even the most raucous party girls pushed their hair back, adjusting dresses poured over hourglass figures.
They were hoping to catch his attention, Alexis realized, with a dawning sense of defeat.
Still, she chanced a glance.
The central glass dance floor suspended above water and the interplay of light created an illusion of a vast space. Yet the edgy elegance faded against the darkly stunning man.
That same hungry, fluttery feeling uncoiled in the pit of Alexâs stomach.
Clad in a black dress shirt and dark blue jeans, the chiseled angles of his face tightly stark, he came to a standstill at the edge of the dance floor. That slate-gray gaze searched, and dismissed each face in turn.
How she longed to make sure he noticed that she, Alexis Sharpe, was a woman. That she couldnât be dismissed so easily...a compulsion sheâd never felt before.
She faced every day that she lacked any special talent, that sheâd been overlooked, even by her parents. This vacation to Milan had been a desperate escape sheâd grabbed after being rejected at another high-flying Manhattan firm for a job. When sheâd realized she wasnât equipped for a big career like some of her friends, that a menial job at her dadâs health food store comprised her future.
A summer in Italy because youâve been turned down at another job, her mom had said in that resigned tone of hers. Rewarding failure, are we now?
