He kissed her in the shadows. It was mind-blowing, passionate, hot and daring. But when Miranda removed the blindfold from her eyes, she didn't expect that the man she hated was the one she was making love with. It was supposed to be his fiance’, Fiore. Her three years boyfriend whom she thought had given her virginity. Instead, she was mistakenly devirginized by his fiance’s best friend, Xylon Diaz. 

Fiore was furious and no more weddings will take place. Miranda hated Xylon to the depths of the earth. But she will be forced to live with Xyle because they were stranded in the ancient country house in the middle of the woods. Until such time that her body felt differently. She wants Xyle to kiss her. She wants that one night with Xyle to happen once again.

When Fiore returns, Miranda has to choose. The man she promised her heart or the man her body is longing for.

Kiss in the Shadow

XYLON slowly approached me. Instead of running, or hiding or even moving, I was stuck from where I was, waiting for the next thing to happen. 


His sight did not disappear from my eyes. Those burning, dark, coffee-brown eyes were all over my deepest soul. He was holding his shirt in his hand while I could hardly breathe. 


There was less than an inch between us. I looked up to meet his gaze. I bit the inside of my lips. It took me everything I had to stay still. Waiting on his next move. 


I saw one side of his lips twitched. Oh, I want those stubbles in my hands. 


"Softy," he whispered in a hoarse voice. "So, so softy..." 


I felt his hand rose close to the curve of my head, down to my body. 


"W-What are you doing?" Only then have I been able to speak. 


"Wearing my shirt to you. I don't want to get you cold."
