About this ebook
Giselle
It's difficult to forget when you're surrounded by constant reminders.
Especially when those reminders come in the form of two, handsome, irresistible billionaires.
But, I do my best to tune them out.
Too bad they're intent on staying in my life—even if it's not in my bed.
Lonely and trapped, I turn to someone I never thought I would.
But, even with all the permission in the world—it still feels wrong.
Until it doesn't.

My hand turned the doorknob, and I opened it to the cool, dark night.
I screamed as a dark figure came into view directly in front of me.
Get your ass back in the house, Giselle,
a very, very angry Nick Rosetti said. He pushed his hand gently into my stomach, moving me back.
What are you doing here?
I asked after my heart started beating again.
Theo’s cry startled me all over again. I’d been so scared, I didn’t realize Nick brought him in.
What am I doing here?
Nick’s head cocked to the side and his eyes speared me to the floor. Are you fucking with me right now?
I took a deep breath. Daniella, say hi to Uncle Nick,
I said dryly, reminding him that my daughter was listening to everything we said.
Even his swearing.
He swallowed and gazed at Dani as she cautiously waved at him. Hello, Daniella,
he said, and cleared his throat. I’m sorry for yelling at your mother.
Apparently, Daniella forgave quickly, because she put her arms out and dove toward him.
Dammit.
No, stay with Mommy,
I said, trying to keep her in my arms.
But Nick was faster.
He’d set Theo and the car seat down, and slipped his hands under Dani’s arms before I could say, boo.
He glared down at me. Do you really think I’d hurt her?
he whispered to me in a harsh tone that sliced right through me.
You’ve got your bunny again, I see,
he bounced her gently and touched the bunny’s ear. Where are you and your mommy going at this late hour?
His eyes glanced down to the bags at the door.
Carride!
Dani said excitedly as she grinned at her friend.
Nick smiled at her and tenderly kissed her cheek.
I bent down and placed Theo’s soother in his mouth. Shh, big guy,
I said, rocking the car seat while I held the blue soother in his mouth. You’re okay, Daddy just lost his mind—again.
I wiped Theo’s baby tears off his face.
Nick closed the door behind him. If your auntie Evie would listen, then Daddy wouldn’t have to yell.
I looked up at him. Said every jerk, ever.
He shook his head and blinked before peering back down at me. I’m trying to keep you safe. How in the hell—
he cleared his throat and tried again, heck, can I do that if you’re trying to run away?
Theo settled, so I stood. I was safe before you showed up.
He let out a sardonic laugh. You’re so safe that you have no ID and are completely untraceable.
I shrugged. It’s not my fault your guys suck at their jobs.
He inhaled deeply and I could tell he was going to get bossy. Grab your stuff. I’m taking you both back to my house. He’s going to need a bottle soon. And if Eve wakes up, she’ll wonder where the hell—
he rolled his eyes, heck, everyone is.
I felt like crying.
I felt like screaming and ripping my daughter out of his arms.
I also knew that I was no match for Nick. And I didn’t want either kid to watch or hear us fight.
Oh, and you can burn this.
He pulled something out of his jacket. Because my wife will never have to read your going away letter.
Dammit.
He’d found my note to Eve.
Nick tossed it into the living room, and I watched as it floated to the floor.
Let’s go,
he said before he walked out of the door with my kid.
I grudgingly followed behind with Theo—because, what the heck else could I do?
Langcaster stood outside of Nick’s limo.
Good grief.
He’d woken up poor Langcaster.
Nick and Dani were ahead of me by a good amount, and I saw Nick approach Langcaster.
They stood and talked for a few seconds before Langcaster nodded his head and started toward the house at a brisk pace.
Good evening, Miss Giselle,
he said and stopped beside me. Shall I take him from here?
he asked and nodded toward Theo.
I muttered a feeble, Hi, it’s okay, I’ve got him, thanks,
and kept on walking.
I really felt like I was in a dream.
A bad dream.
Where I couldn’t wake up no matter how hard I tried.
I needed to be gone.
Like, weeks ago.
But, I hesitated.
And now, I’d pay for it.
In,
Nick said with one hand on the door and one still holding Dani.
I set Theo’s seat in the back and made sure he was secure. Then I sat beside him and belted myself in.
Nick followed behind us and shut the door. I gazed toward the house and saw Langcaster carrying a bag and the cooler in his hands.
I opened my mouth to speak, but then thought better of it. Langcaster could have left the cooler.
But, if I didn’t get back here for a few days—the cooler might begin to smell like death.
So, I decided to make a crack instead. Aren’t you going to help him?
I pointed out the back window.
Nick laughed lightly. Why? So you can try to run out of the car?
Dammit.
It was an idea.
Not a great idea.
But worth a shot.
Maybe,
I answered back because I was feeling more than pissed off.
His jaw got tight and he shook his head. Honest to Christ, Giselle,
he sighed out loud, if you were mine, I’d have you over my goddamn knee so fuckin’ fast.
The way he was looking at me.
The way he spoke to me.
The vision that he’d just implanted into my brain—oh, man.
It sent an electric sizzle through my body—and that sizzle ended in a very, very delicate place.
I was mortified that I’d enjoyed the sensation as much as I had.
Because I should not—absolutely, definitely, one hundred percent not—have that kind of reaction to my best friend’s husband.
After I uncurled my toes, I said, Watch your mouth around my kid.
Nick smirked at me and rolled down his window. Drop the cooler in here with us, please.
Langcaster opened the door a few seconds later and deposited the fully packed cooler beside Nick.
He opened the lid and peeked in. Hmm, your mommy makes good sandwiches, Daniella. Are you hungry?
he asked my daughter.
Dani yawned and nodded her tired little head.
Nick looked at me and said, I’ve got eyes on you, and Dani, now. You can stop plotting ways to run. It’s no use. I’ll find you.
I wasn’t sure if he was serious or not—but his words made my stomach twist and churn.
I
