The woman who never cared for makeup now wore it flawlessly. The one who dressed exclusively in somber colors now shimmered in a vibrant gown…

Geoffrey froze.

Before he could react, her eyes swept the room.

“Are you the auction organizer?

Geoffrey’s expression darkened instantly.

He rose, his imposing frame blocking most of the light as he loomed over her. “Who do you think I am?” His voice was low, edged with gravel.

“Who are you?

Geoffrey choked back his next words.

An icy aura radiated from him. “You don’t recognize me?”

Maureen’s pupils contracted sharply.

Before she could react, Geoffrey’s rough kiss swept over her.
