Chapter 2008

Sterling abruptly halted, his eyes filled with disbelief as he stared at her. Up close, the woman before him was even more breathtaking than he had realized. Her every movement carried a rare and mesmerizing quality. But that wasn't important. What mattered now was this—she shouldn't have known.
