Prologue
There are two things Aispen Knox hates: overpriced cocktails and Brady freakin’ Cole. Unfortunately, tonight she’s dealing with both.
The charity gala is everything she despises—glittering chandeliers, laughter that sounds like glass breaking, and the suffocating weight of money hanging in the air. Her crimson dress feels like armor as she stalks through the crowd, eyes locked on her target.
Brady stands across the room, grinning like he owns it. Which, considering his family’s influence in this town, he practically does. His navy suit fits too well, his hair artfully tousled like he spent hours not caring how it looked.
”God, he’s insufferable.” Aspen whispers.
” And yet, here we are,” Mary says beside her, tone dry. Mary’s dress is black and sleek, her expression one part amusement, two parts tequilla. “You sure about this?”
” No. But I’m doing it anyway.”
Because the headline of the evening isn’t the charity’s record-breaking fundraiser. It’s the glittering diamond on the hand of the woman clinging to Brady’s arm.
Aispen’s heart stumbles in her chest as Brady turns his head and spots her. His eyes go wide, that damn grin faltering for just a second. He knew she’d find out eventually. Just not like this.
She steps forward.
Game on.
