Introduction

Was passiert, wenn man den absoluten Tiefpunkt erreicht und keinen Ausweg mehr sieht? Nimmt man das unanständige Angebot des attraktiven Fremden an, das zu gut scheint, um wahr zu sein?

Kurz gesagt, ja. Verzweiflung bringt einen dazu, verrückte Dinge zu tun, wie ein Jahr seines Lebens aufzugeben und um die halbe Welt zu reisen, um einen hinreißenden australischen Winzer zu heiraten, der anscheinend mehr Ballast mit sich herumträgt, als er bewältigen kann.

Ich weiß, dass ich Abstand halten sollte, aber irgendetwas an ihm zieht mich einfach an. Vielleicht ist es die Art, wie er immer da zu sein scheint, wenn ich ihn am meisten brauche, oder dass er einfach immer die richtigen Worte findet. Alles, was ich weiß, ist, dass ich in Schwierigkeiten stecke, sobald er mich an unserem Hochzeitstag küsst.

Reich und arrogant, ist Alex es gewohnt, alles zu bekommen, was er will, und er hat ein Auge auf Olivia geworfen. Monate lang hat er sie beobachtet, während sie jeden seiner Beschützerinstinkte weckt. Er wartet auf die perfekte Gelegenheit, um sie auf jede erdenkliche Weise zu seiner zu machen.

Doch Alex verbirgt ein Geheimnis, das er um jeden Preis schützen will, bis Olivia eines Tages eine Entdeckung macht, die sie auf einen Weg der Selbstfindung führt. Gemeinsam erkunden sie Olivias devote Seite, überschreiten Grenzen und nehmen sie mit auf die wildeste Fahrt ihres Lebens. Als jedoch Olivias Vergangenheit droht, Alex' Geheimnis zu enthüllen, zeigt sich die wahre Stärke der Beziehung zwischen Alex und Olivia.

Chapter 1

Er steht am hinteren Ende des Raumes und beobachtet sie, sein ausdrucksloses Gesicht verbirgt die Faszination, die er empfindet, wenn er in ihrer Nähe ist. Olivia Walker spielt nervös mit dem Auktionskatalog, dreht ihn immer wieder in ihren Händen, während sie auf das nächste Los wartet. Er kann die Verzweiflung spüren, die von ihr ausgeht; ihre Haltung ist gebeugt, als trüge sie die Last der Welt auf ihren Schultern. Er lässt seinen Blick über ihren ganzen Körper schweifen, nimmt das unordentliche braune Haar wahr, das ein Eigenleben zu führen scheint, das ungeschminkte Gesicht, die großen braunen Augen, die die gleiche Farbe wie Oreo-Kekse haben und jede Emotion widerspiegeln, die sie fühlt. Ihr zierlicher Körper ist in Kleidung gehüllt, die eindeutig bessere Tage gesehen hat. Heute sind ihre Augen gequält; die übliche Wärme, die er in ihren Tiefen gesehen hat, ist völlig abwesend.

Seit Monaten beobachtet er sie geduldig und wartet auf die Gelegenheit, die sich heute bietet. Sein Schwanz zuckt in seiner Hose und er nimmt einen tiefen, beruhigenden Atemzug, erinnert sich daran, dass es mit diesem Mädchen, dieser Frau, nichts dergleichen geben wird. Trotz ihres Alters ist sie eindeutig unschuldiger als die meisten, und aus den Recherchen, die er über sie angestellt hat, weiß er, dass sie definitiv nicht auf seinen Lebensstil steht. Er mag sich zu ihr hingezogen fühlen – verdammt, seit dem ersten Tag, an dem er sie bemerkte, hat etwas an ihr ihn gerufen – aber er denkt an das große Ganze, und das bedeutet, die Dinge rein platonisch zu halten.

In seinem ganzen Leben hat er noch nie ein solches Bedürfnis verspürt. Er weiß, dass er für die meisten Menschen wie ein kompletter Kontrollfreak wirkt, freundlich und geschäftsmäßig, aber wenn man sich mit ihm anlegt, wird er dein Feind fürs Leben. Im Herzen ist er ein Familienmensch; nur seine Eltern und Geschwister wissen, wie großzügig, nachdenklich und sogar beschützend er sein kann. Für jeden, der die Situation betrachtet, würde er verrückt, ja sogar stalkerhaft erscheinen, aber sie ruft jeden seiner Beschützerinstinkte hervor. Noch nie zuvor hat er das Bedürfnis verspürt, eine Beziehung mit einer Frau über Sex hinaus zu führen, und hier ist er, tritt in den Abgrund und tut etwas, das er weiß, dass es völlig bizarr und untypisch für ihn ist. Genau wie der Wolf-Junge in diesen Vampirfilmen, die seine Nichte Kayla ihn unbedingt sehen lassen wollte... alles, was er will, ist für sie da zu sein, wer auch immer sie braucht, dass er ist, alles für sie zu tun. Sie ist magnetisch, zieht ihn in ihr Gravitationsfeld, und sie weiß es nicht einmal.

Aber was sie am meisten braucht, ist ein Freund, denkt er bei sich. Durch seine Beobachtungen hat er bemerkt, wie unabhängig sie ist und dass niemand in ihrem Leben ist, der sich um sie kümmert. Kein Liebhaber, kein Partner, nicht einmal ein bester Freund. Sie ist wirklich ganz allein. Sie arbeitet in drei verschiedenen Jobs, nur um über die Runden zu kommen, und kehrt nachts in eine schäbige kleine Wohnung im schlimmsten Teil von Stratford zurück, nur um ihre Mutter zu unterstützen. Alles, was er tun möchte, ist, seine Arme um sie zu legen und ihr zu sagen, dass alles gut wird. Und das macht ihm verdammt viel Angst; er hat keine Gefühle und diesen anderen Scheiß mit jemandem außer seiner Familie.

Also wird er heute seinen Zug machen, und er muss es so tun, dass sie denkt, sie trifft die Entscheidung in all dem. Sie wird ihm gehören, in welcher Weise auch immer sie es akzeptabel findet, und er wird damit einverstanden sein. Er muss es sein, denn es gibt keine Möglichkeit, dass sie jemals die Dunkelheit verstehen würde, die in ihm wohnt. Er weiß, dass er keine Annahmen treffen sollte, aber er hat sie genug studiert, um zu wissen, dass sie, wenn sie in irgendeiner Weise alternativ wäre, es nicht verbergen könnte.

Die Auktion steht kurz vor dem Beginn, also tritt er mit einem tiefen Atemzug vor und nimmt seinen Platz an Olivias Seite ein. Er weiß, dass nach heute nichts mehr so sein wird wie zuvor, aber er weigert sich, an sich selbst oder seinem Plan zu zweifeln.

No one escapes the Matchmaker unscathed. The process is simple—each participant is paired with a supernatural being, often sealing their fate with blood. Death is the most common outcome, and Saphira expects nothing less. But when the impossible happens, she is matched with a creature so legendary, so powerful, that even the bravest tremble at its name—a royal dragon.

As she walks this new path, familiar faces resurface, bringing long-buried secrets to light. Her heritage—once a mystery—begins to unravel, revealing a truth that may change everything.
