One unforgettable betrayal. One wedding commission. One billionaire I swore I’d never trust again.
Dante
Eight years ago, Aryanna walked out of my bed with enough of my business plans to help launch my competition. She ignored my calls, built Amal into a thriving jewelry house, and left me wondering how much of our time together had been real.
Now a billionaire wedding demands something neither of us can deliver alone: her colored gemstones and my diamonds.
I agree to a temporary collaboration. Clear boundaries. Separate companies. No personal entanglements.
But three days a week in her workshop puts me dangerously close to the woman I’ve never managed to forget. Every argument reminds me why I don’t trust her. Every touch reminds me how badly I still want her.
Then the investigation into my parents’ deaths reaches into our businesses. I uncover a threat that could destroy everything Aryanna has built—and keeping it from her could cost me everything we’re becoming.
Aryanna
Dante Marino has spent eight years treating me like a mistake he wishes he’d never made.
I gave him reasons. I kept secrets, used what he told me, and disappeared when I should have stayed to face him. But Amal is mine. I built it, and I won’t let Dante turn our shared commission into another chance to judge me.
Working together should be simple. Make beautiful jewelry. Deliver it for the wedding. Go back to being rivals.
Instead, the man I expect to fight starts listening. The attraction I remember becomes impossible to resist. And somewhere between choosing stones and sharing his bed, I begin to believe we might deserve another chance.
Then I discover what Dante has been hiding.
His family’s enemies are willing to kill to keep the past buried. But if we’re going to survive what’s coming, Dante has to trust me with the truth—and I have to stay long enough to hear it.
Brilliance is a sizzling billionaire romance featuring enemies to lovers, forced proximity, a second chance at love, and a family mystery with deadly consequences. It follows Splendor in the Lust & Luster series.
