Alessandro was her mark. He was tall, blonde, with striking green eyes. He was dressed in a very expensive dark suit, with shoes perfectly shined. He was leaning over in his chair, talking to a blonde woman who Mia was sure she’d seen in a perfume ad in last month’s Vogue.

Next to Alessandro was Lorenzo. They were vastly different in looks and energy—though equally tall, Lorenzo had dark eyes and dark hair, which he wore longer than Alessandro’s. Lorenzo sat with one leg up on his chair, and wore his shirt unbuttoned, revealing his chiselled chest and abs. His skin gleamed with sweat.

He was also talking to a couple of beautiful women, but he seemed less interested. He glanced around the room and his eyes met Mia’s. It was like a bolt of electricity coursed through her whole body. Every hair stood on end when his gaze met hers.

Mia looked away—she had to stay focused. Alessandro was her mark. She couldn’t get distracted.

Bethany led Mia right up to where the brothers were sitting.

She physically pushed the blonde model out of the way.

“Excuse me?” The model said.

“You’re excused,” Bethany said.

The model walked away in a huff. Bethany sat in her place.

“Hey Al.”

Alessandro watched the blonde leave, but he seemed amused by the situation.

“Bethany,” Alessandro said.“My favorite cousin. You know I love seeing you, but do you always have to drive the women away?”

“She wasn’t that great.”

“She’s a Victoria’s Secret model.”

“I know you, Al. You would have fallen in love with her tonight, then dumped her by Monday.”

Alessandro laughed.

“That’s true.”

Bethany pulled Mia down to sit beside her.

“Al, this is my friend Mia.”

Alessandro took Mia’s hand and kissed it.

“Mi amore,” he said.

Mia smiled, but she couldn’t help but steal a glance at Lorenzo, who was scrolling on his phone and ignoring the group of women dying to get his attention.

“How do you know my cousin?” Alessandro asked.

“We met at the Hamptons,” Mia said.

“We’re best friends,” Bethany said.

Alessandro laughed at this.“And you’ll dump her by Monday.”

Alessandro waved his hand to get the attention of the waiter.

“Bring us a bottle of Cristal. We’re celebrating a new friend.”

The waiter nodded and walked off.

Alessandro was about to talk again, when there was a commotion behind them.
