Love in the dark

He had always been a danger.
Stephanie had traveled across the globe, rebuilt her existence, and found someone new. Now Gerard Tenniel had shown up—the same Gerard who knew all about the scandal from five years ago and was ready to reveal it. Unless...
That "unless" was what troubled Stephanie. She admitted that exposing the truth would damage her brother's career and ruin her new relationship before it could even begin. She even agreed to leave town with Gerard. So what else could he possibly want?
She was stunned to discover that, despite the resentment lingering from the trial, Gerard still desired her. But was it out of love—or a thirst for revenge?
"Are you in love with him?"
Stephanie's gaze wavered, but she stayed silent.
"Are you?" Gerard pressed.
"I'm not sure," she confessed. "I didn't get the chance to figure it out. He was the kind of man most women dream of marrying—"
"Good husband material," Gerard finished for her, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "So it wasn't love at first sight?"
"I don't believe in love at first sight," she replied, her cheeks warming under his strange stare. Of course, she had fallen for Gerard instantly. Stephanie went rigid, lifting her eyes to meet his captivating gray gaze.
"You do realize you'll be living with me in London." It was a declaration that left her utterly speechless. "I'm not letting you out of my sight until we're married," he stated.
It seemed like the most absurd idea she had ever heard in her entire life!
