His Unveiled Passion

At a dinner party, Tessa Yates hears Zachary Gomez say, "Tessa is indeed pretty. I only pursued her because of her resemblance to Wendy. I've been trying to find traces of Wendy in her over the years."Only then does Tessa discover that she's nothing but a stand-in. That night, she dials a number she hasn't called in a long time. "Hi, Dad. I'll return home for the marriage alliance."Later, Zachary sees the woman he's been dreaming of for days—it's at the engagement party for Tessa and Stephen Jacobson. He loses his mind.…On the day Tessa objects to the marriage alliance and runs away from home, Stephen stands before the window and lightly swirls his wine. The look in his eyes is unfathomable as he says, "You'll obediently return to me one day, Tess."Rumor has it Stephen is cold, aloof, and uninterested in women. Tessa believes that to be true. It's only after she gets to know him that she finds out just how wild he is underneath his stoic appearance.
