The first time she saw him, Padi could hardly breathe. She had heard rumors, of course—the stories about J. Cat were legend. But nothing could have prepared her for the man who stood before her now. She was in the most exclusive restaurant in the city, the kind of place where only the rich and powerful dined, and the air felt thick with secrets and wealth. As she sat at a corner table, surveying the room, a wave of electricity passed through her as J. Cat walked in.
He was like nothing she had ever seen before—tall, dark, and devastatingly handsome, with a presence that immediately commanded attention. The room seemed to pause in respect, every person turning their head, drawn to him like moths to a flame.
Cat was a man who was used to being the center of attention, and he enjoyed it. But it was something more that held his gaze, something deeper. When his eyes locked with hers, a jolt of recognition passed between them—like two stars colliding in the night sky. It was magnetic, a force neither of them could resist.
