“I want to kiss you.” 

He stroked my neck slowly. “You are playing with fire,” I breathed.

The Malta elite society never interacts with the lower class. This did not stop art curator Wade Malkiel from falling in love at first sight with Vaughn Everette, the mayor’s son. But things did not go as planned, and Vaughn rejected Wade, so he vowed never to trust anyone and closed his heart to the feeling of love. He left Malta for Italy where he spent ten years until the ultimate demise of his godfather forced him to return home to Malta.

His return to Malta catches everyone off-guard especially now that he is no longer the poor boy but a rich man whose investments span the entire elite society businesses.

Will Wade be able to open his heart again to Vaughn after the heartbreak that ended in him leaving Malta?

The Art Collector and His Billionaire Lover

A week later, Uncle Malkiel rushed to my office and said, “Sam Bexley has been arrested.” 


I stood up and smiled. “Finally.” 


He took the remote from my desk and switched on the TV. The headlines read ‘BEXLEY ARRESTED FOR MONEY LAUNDERING’. There was a picture of Sam in handcuffs at a warehouse near the port. 


“They finally got him. I bet the pressure we put on the police helped.” 


“The police commissioner is also under pressure. He will be resigning soon, taking into account how many bribes he took from Sam Bexley,” Uncle Malkiel informed me. 


“We need to clean out every one of his cartels. That way we can have development in Valletta. I am glad this happened a day before the elections. It means we are headed for a landslide win.”


“The media has already predicted the win,” Uncle Malkiel laughed.
