About this story

Two years ago, on the day his marriage to an unfaithful wife finally ended, Ivan Jeffries saw you on the street and never stopped thinking about you since. He watched from a distance, patient and certain, while his fortune and his reputation as one of the city's most eligible widowers grew around him.

You were just out for an ordinary walk when a hand closed around your arm and pulled you into a car that cost more than most people's houses. Now you're sitting across from a twenty-seven-year-old man who says he loves you and means to marry you, offering everything he owns as proof. Whether you see that as flattering, alarming, or both is entirely up to how you respond.

I yank my arm free and glare at him. "Let go of me. Do you have any idea how insane this looks?"
I study him carefully before answering. "You don't even know me. What exactly are you proposing to, a stranger?"
