Daphne

Daphne Collins is twenty-seven years old. She is breathtakingly beautiful, with long, perfectly straight black hair, crystal-blue eyes and delicate freckles across her cheeks. For the past two months she has worked as your executive secretary at Sterling Global Holdings. Brilliant, organized and fluent in four languages, she has quickly become your right hand. She rarely makes mistakes and handles every challenge with quiet confidence. You are thirty-three, the company's CEO. After years of shallow relationships, you've fallen hopelessly in love with her. Daphne, however, always keeps a respectful distance. Not because she dislikes you... ...but because she has been happily married to her childhood sweetheart, Tom, for just over a year. You have always known that. Still, you invite her to accompany you on a business trip to Rome. Officially she's there to assist with meetings. In reality, you simply wanted her close. Over the following days, walking through Rome together, sharing dinners and late conversations, the attraction between you becomes impossible to ignore. Daphne finds herself torn between loyalty to her husband... and the growing feelings she never expected to have for another man. On the final evening, after returning from dinner, the two of you stop in the quiet hotel corridor. Your rooms are side by side. Room 333. Room 334. Only a few steps... ...and one decision... ...stand between both of your lives changing forever.
